When Gathering Clouds Around I View

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 276 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When gathering clouds around I view, And days are dark, and friends are few, On Him I lean, who not in vain Experienced every human pain; He sees my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures all my tears. 2. If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom’s narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the sin I would not do, Still He, who felt temptation’s power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour. 3. If wounded love my bosom swell, Deceived by those I prized too well, He shall His pitying aid bestow, Who felt on earth severer woe, At once betrayed, denied, or fled, By those who shared His daily bread. 4. If vexing thoughts within me rise And, sore dismayed, my spirit dies, Still He, who once vouchsafed to bear The sickening anguish of despair, Shall sweetly soothe, shall gently dry, The throbbing heart, the streaming eye. 5. When, sorrowing, o’er some stone I bend, Which covers what was once a friend, And from his voice, his hand, his smile, Divides me for a little while, Thou, Savior, mark’st the tears I shed, For Thou didst weep o’er Lazarus dead. 6. And O, when I have safely passed, Through every conflict but the last; Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, for Thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear way.

Thou hidden source of calm repose

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden source of calm repose, thou all-sufficient love divine, my help and refuge from my foes, secure I am, if thou art mine: and lo, from sin, and grief, and shame, I hide me, Jesus, in thy name. 2 Thy mighty name salvation is, and keeps my happy soul above; comfort it brings, and power, and peace, and joy, and everlasting love: to me, with thy dear name, are given pardon, and holiness, and heaven. 3 Jesus, my all in all thou art: my rest in toil, my ease in pain, the medicine of my broken heart, in war my peace, in loss my gain, my smile beneath the tyrant's frown, in shame my glory and my crown; 4 In want my plentiful supply, in weakness my almighty power, in bonds my perfect liberty, my light in Satan's darkest hour, in grief my joy unspeakable, my life in death, my heaven in hell.

The Lord My Trust

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 552 hymnals First Line: The Lord my pasture shall prepare Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When on the sultry globe I faint, Or, on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wand'ring steps he leads Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Tho' in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly staff shall give me aid, And guide me thro' the dreadful shade. Amen.

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forth from the dark and stormy sky, Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here: Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray: Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away! 2 Long have we roamed in want and pain; Long have we sought Thy rest in vain; 'Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost, Long have our souls been tempest-tost: Low at Thy feet our sins we lay; Turn not, O Lord, Thy guests away.
