Our Darkest Hour

By Delwin Rees Buckner

DELWIN REES BUCKNER
God’s people journey as within a night: The clouds, moon-tinted, ofttimes come and go; The dim stars go and come; sometimes they show Their luster, but more often hide their light.
Gigantic shadows cause us sudden fear; We dodge some wild, imaginary blow; But night and fears are not for long; we know That our expected dawn is drawing near.
The half-way midnight hour has ticked away; But just before the dawn steals through the skies, Will come our blackest and most dreadful hour, The hour of night that just precedes the day, When our bright Sun in glory will arise, With healing virtue and life-giving power.
Ambato, Ecuador.
