george dyson - night hath no wings lyrics

Loading...

night hath no wings to him that cannot sleep
and time seems then not for to fly, but creep;
slowly her chariot drives, as if that she
had broke her [wheel, or crack’d her wheel
so ’tis with me, who listening pray
the winds to blow the tedious night away
sick is my heart! o saviour! do thou please
to make my bed soft in my sicknesses:
lighten my candle, so that i beneath
sleep not for ever in the vaults of death;
let me thy voice betimes i’ th’ morning hear:
call, and i’ll come; say thou the when, and where

in the hour of my distress
when temptations me oppress
and when i my sins confess
sweet spirit, comfort me!

when the house doth sigh and weep
and the world is drown’d in sleep
yet mine eyes the watch do keep
sweet spirit, comfort me!

when, god knows, i’m tost about
either with despair, or doubt;
yet, before the glass be out
sweet spirit, comfort me!
unto the east we turn, with watchful eyes
where opens the white haze of silvery lawn
and the still trees stand in the streak of dawn
until the sun of righteousness shall rise
and far behind shall open all the skies
and golden clouds of angels be withdrawn
around his presence. then there shall be gone
fleeing before his face in dread surprise
the heaven and earth and the affrighted sea
like nightly travellers to the kindling sky
awake or sleeping to yon eastern side
we turn, and know not when the time shall be
