Text:	Forth from the dark and stormy sky
Author:	Reginald Heber
Tune:	MORTON
Composer:	Edwin Barnes

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;
Burdened with doubt, in darkness lost,
Long have our souls been tempest-tossed.
Low at thy feet our sins we lay;
Turn not, O Lord! thy guests away.
