710--The days may grow darker,

The days may grow darker,

710

	1.	The days may grow darker,
		The nights more weary grow,
		And Jesus may still tarry,
		But this one thing I know:
		The Lord will still grow dearer,
		And fellowship will be
		The closer and the sweeter
		Between my Lord and me.
	2.	'Tis our dear Lord we wait for,
		Our Hope! our Joy! our Friend!
		Himself we long to welcome,
		And just beyond the bend
		Hidden, perchance to meet us
		Before the day is done,
		The waiting will be over
		And rest will have begun.
