Herber Evans
The first is from the pen of a preacher as well known almost in England as he is in Wales--the Rev. Dr. HERBER EVANS, of Caernarvon:
Keep me very near to Jesus, Though beneath His cross it be; In this world of evil-doing 'Tis the cross that cleanseth me: 148 Should there come distress and darkness, Let this hope with me abide-- After all the gloom and sorrow, Light shall be at eventide. | Bring to mind my past experience-- That shall take my fears away; For Thy goodness and Thy mercy Shall be mine till close of day: Through the tears, the clouds, the tempest, Shine on me, O Crucified! There's a promise in God's rainbow-- Light shall be at eventide. | Lead me onward to the future, Where I fear one step to move; Still the love of God will keep me-- Love beyond a mother's love: Calvary has said sufficient-- Hear them sing on yonder side: Though the cross stand in the pathway, Light shall be at eventide. | |
