1. When day’s shadows lengthen, Jesus, be Thou near;
Pardon, comfort, strengthen,
Chase away my fear;
Love and hope be deepened,
Faith, more strong and clear.
1-4
Words by Frederick G. Lee / Music: Unknown, Arr. by Nicola A. Montani

2. When the night grows darkest, And the stars are pale,
When Day’s Shadows Lengthen
When the night grows darkest,
And the stars are pale,
When the foemen gather
In death’s misty vale,
Be Thou Sword and Buckler,–
Be Thou Shield and Mail.
2-4

3. So no fears shall chill me On that unknown shore,
When Day’s Shadows Lengthen
So no fears shall chill me
On that unknown shore,
For in death He conquered,
And can die no more;
His hand guards and guides me
To the heav’nly door.
3-4

4. Tears no more, nor sorrow,
When Day’s Shadows Lengthen
Blessed warfare over,
Endless rest alone;
Tears no more, nor sorrow,
Neither sigh nor moan,
But a song of triumph
Round about the throne.
4-4
