Gloomy Night Embraced The Place

Author: Richard Crashaw Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8334 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Gloomy night embraced the place Wherein the noble Infant lay: The Babe looked up and showed His face; In spite of darkness, it was day! It was Thy day, sweet! and did rise Not from the east, but from Thine eyes. 2 We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest, Young dawn of our eternal day! We saw Thine eyes break from the east And chase the trembling shades away; We saw Thee, and we blessed the sight; We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light. 3 Welcome, all wonders in one sight! Eternity shut in a span! Summer in winter, day in night! Heaven on earth, and God in Man! Great little One! Whose lowly birth, Lifts earth to Heav’n, stoops Heav’n to earth. 4 To Thee, meek Majesty! soft King Of simple graces and sweet loves; Each one of us his lamb will bring, And each his pair of silver doves; Till burnt in fire of Thy fair eyes, Ourselves become our sacrifice! Languages: English Tune Title: LEST WE FORGET
