Original text and translations

English text

1  As darker, darker, fall around The shadows of the night, We gather here with hymn and prayer, To seek the eternal light. 2  Father in Heaven, to Thee are known Our many hopes and fears, Our heavy weight of mortal toil, Our bitterness of tears.

3  We pray Thee for our absent ones, Who have been with us here: And in our secret heart we name The distant and the dear. 4  For weary eyes, and aching hearts, And feet that from Thee rove, The sick, the poor, the tired, the fall'n, We pray Thee, God of love.

5  We bring to Thee our hopes and fears And at Thy footstool lay; And, Father, Thou who lovest all Wilt hear us as we pray.
