[Refrain] 3 Out, out from his mansion he wandered away, To the depths of eternity’s night, To beg for relief, and to long for the day, Which shall gladden, no never, his sight.

But thy pow'r, hour by hour, is my temple and my tow'r. 3 Great thy goodness e'er enduring; deep thy wisdom, passing thought; splendor, light and life attend thee, beauty springing out of nought. Evermore from God's store newborn worlds rise and adore. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of God's own Son.

Christian Union

Author: Jane Borthwick Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: And is the time approaching Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One shepherd and one fold?

Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love? Shall war be learned no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth his blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on, To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone.
