When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken Always hath he comfort spoken Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then when or how Only bow.
