Appears in 1 hymnal Hymnal Title: Gospel Herald in Song First Line: Sometimes our hearts are burdened with grief Refrain First Line: Call upon the Lord Lyrics: 1 Sometimes our hearts are burdened with grief, Weary, and faint, and sad; Where shall we go to find sweet relief? Who then can make us glad? Refrain: Call upon the Lord, Trust His sacred word, Never was a friend so true, He’ll dispel our fears, He’ll dry all our tears, If His works we do. 2 Sometimes the skies are dark overhead, Silent is ev’ry song; Who then shall bring us joys that have fled? Who then can right the wrong? [Refrain] 3 Sometimes the road is rugged and steep, Dangers before us lie; Oh! for a friend to help and to keep, One that is ever nigh. [Refrain] 4 Sometimes the friends we so dearly love, Pass from our sight away; Oh! how we long to meet them above, Where shines eternal day. [Refrain] Topics: Christ a Friend; Trust Scripture: Psalm 5:8 Used With Tune: [Sometimes our hearts are burdened with grief]
