How dark, how mournful, are my days, If thy enlivening beams depart! 2 Scarce thro' the shades, a glimpse of day Appears to these desiring eyes! But shall my drooping spirit say, The cheerful morn will never rise? 3 O let me not despairing mourn, Tho' gloomy darkness spreads the sky; My glorious sun will yet return, And night with all its horrors fly. 4 O for the bright, the joyful day, When hope shall in assurance die! So tapers lose their feeble ray, Beneath the sun's refulgent eye. Languages: English

A young convert falling into darkness

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CXXXVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Convert Young in darkness; Convert Young in darkness First Line: When converts first begin to sing Lyrics: 1 When converts first begin to sing Their happy souls are on the wing; Their theme is all redeeming love, Fain would they be with Christ above. 2 With admiration they behold The love of Christ that can't be told, They view themselves upon the shore, And think the battle all is o'er. 3 They feel themselves quite free from pain, And think their enemies are slain; They make no doubt but all is well, And Satan is cast down to hell. 4 They wonder why old saints don't sing, And make the heav'nly arches ring, Ring with melodious joyful sound, Because a prodigal is found. 5 But 'tis not long before they feel Their feeble souls begin to reel, They think their former hopes are vain, For they are bound in Satan's chain. 6 The morning that did shine so bright, Is turned to the shades of night; Their hearts that did with music sing, Are now untun'd in ev'ry string. 7 O! foolish child, why didst thou boast In the enlargement of thy coast? Why dost thou think to fly away, Before thou leav'st this feeble clay? 8 Come take up arms and face the field, Come gird on harness, sword and shield, Stand fast in faith, fight for your king, And soon the vict'ry you shall win. 9 When Satan comes to tempt your minds, Then meet him with these blessed lines: For Christ our Lord has swept the field, And we're determin'd not to yield.

The holy spirit addressed under darkness

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXIV (1792) Topics: Spirit of God addressed in Darkness; Spirit of God Addressed under darkness First Line: Descend, holy spirit the dove Lyrics: 1 Descend, holy spirit the dove, And visit a sorrowful breast, My burden of guild to remove, And bring me assurance and rest: Thou only hast pow'r to relieve A sinner o'erwhelm'd with his load, The sense of election to give, And sprinkle his heart with the blood. 2 With me, if of old thou hast strove, And kindly withheld me from sin; Resolv'd by the force of thy love, My worthless affections to win; The work of thy mercy revive, Invincible mercy exert, And keep my weak graces alive, And set up thy rest in my heart. 3 If when I have put thee to grief, And madly to folly return'd, Thy goodness hath been my relief, And lifted me up as I mourn'd; Most pitiful spirit of grace, Relieve me again, and restore, MY spirit in holiness raise, To fall and to grieve thee no more. 4 If now I lament after God, And pant for a drop of his love, If Jesus, who pour'd out his blood, Obtain me a mansion above; Come, heavenly comforter come, Sweet witness of mercy divine! And make me thy permanent home, And seal me eternally thine. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #22a (1740) Topics: Hope in darkness First Line: How long, O Lord! shall I complain Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord! shall I complain, Like one that seeks his GOD in vain. Canst thou thy Face for ever hide? And I still pray and be deny'd? 2 Shall I for ever be forgot, As one whom thou regardest not? Still shall my Soul thine Absence mourn? And still despair of thy Return? 3 How long shall my poor troubled Breast Be with these anxious Thoughts opprest, And Satan, my malicious Foe, Rejoice to see me sunk so low? 4 Hear, Lord, and grant me quick Relief, Before my Death conclude my Grief; If thou with-hold thy heav'nly Light, I sleep in everlasting Night. 5 How will the Pow'rs of Darkness boast, If but one praying Soul be lost? But I have trusted in thy Grace, And shall again behold thy Face. 6 Whate'er my Foes or Fears suggest, Thou art my Hope, my Joy, my Rest, My Heart shall feel thy Love, and raise My chearful Voice to Songs of Praise.
