Matthew 27:45: There was darkness over all the land
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Darkness the whole earth o'ers)reads.
And fills with sad affright.
While the' eclipse of death invades
That uncreated Light:
But that Sun shall soon appear.
All the gloom of hell disperse.
All the frown of heaven, and cheer
Our brighten'd universe.
