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. Topics: Easter Season, Sixth Sunday; Second Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: MELITA
