Lyics

When, in the hour of lonely wo,

I give my sorrows leave to flow,

And anxious fear and dark distrust,

Weigh down my spirit to the dust;



When no e'en friendship's gentle aid

Can heal the wounds the world has made,

O this shall check each rising sigh,--

My Saviour is forever nigh.



His counsels and upholding care

My safety and my comfort are;

And he shall guide me all my days,

Till glory crown the work of grace.
