“At evening time it shall be light.” Zech. 14. 7
1
What am I, and where am I?
 
Strange myself and paths appear;
 
Scarce can lift a thought on high,
 
Or drop one heart-feeling tear.
2
Yet I feel I’m not at home,
 
But know not which way to move:
 
Lest I farther yet should roam
 
From the Object of my love.
3
Some small glimmering light I have,
 
Yet too dark to see my way;
 
Jesus’ presence still I crave;
4
Is the evening time at hand?
 
Will it then indeed be light?
 
Will the sun its beams extend –
 
Chase away the shades of night?
5
Will the Lord indeed appear,
 
Give me light, and joy, and rest,
 
Drive away my gloomy fear,
 
Draw me to his lovely breast?
6
Then his love is rich and free;
 
Jesus, let me feel its power,
 
And my soul will cling to thee,
 
Love and praise thee and adore.
