what time the evening shadows fall
Around the church on earth,
when darker forms of doubt appal,
And new false lights have birth.
Then closer should her faithful band
for truth together hold,
Hell's last devices to withstand,
And safely guard her fold.
in that hour of fear
The Church on earth keep
Altar to the last to rear,
And feed my endless bleed.
May she the holy truths attest
Apostles taught of yore,
Nor quit the faith by angel's rest
Though tempted ne'er so sore.
Church on land come older
and drowning in the gravesand,
I sleepless again in night so colder
And GUIDE HER TO THE END
O'er heathen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet
Arise, o morning star,
Arise, and never set.
The Church
