Advent shadows gather deep

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Loyal Responses

Religion

Advent shadows gather deep,
Wars and desolations,
Troubled wakings, troubled sleep,
Rushing of the nations.
Advent glory, grand and clear,
Herald flashes flingeth ;
And the Judge who draweth near,
Full salvation bringeth.
