ABIDE WITH US. 215 And as at morn's approach the shades are gone, Thy words, oh, blessed stranger, have dispelled The midnight gloom in which our souls were held. " Sad were our soids, and quenched hope's latest ray, But thou to us hast words of comfort given Of Him who came from heaven ! How burned our hearts within us on the way, "While thou the sacred scripture didst unfold, And bad'st us trust the promise given of old. " Abide with us ! let us not lose thee yet ! Lest unto us the cloud of f...ear return, When we are left to mourn That Israel's Hope — his better Sun — is set ! Oh, teach us more of what we long to know, That new-born joy may chide our faithless woe." Thus in their sorrow the disciples prayed, And knew not He was walking by their side Who on the cross had died ! But when he broke the consecrated bread, Then saw they who had deigned to bless their board, And in the stranger hailed their risen Lord. " Abide with us !" Thus the believer prays, Compassed with doubt and bitterness and dread — When, as life from the dead, The bow of mercy breaks upon his gaze : He trusts the word, yet fears lest from his heart He whose discourse is peace too soon depart.
