Author: J. V. R. Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #19 (1931) First Line: When the cares of life sweep o'er me Refrain First Line: O Jesus, In the hour of sweet communion Lyrics: 1 When the cares of life sweep o’er me,
And my heart with grief is torn,
When I steal away and find a place to pray,
Then Jesus speaks and hope anew is born.
Refrain:
O Jesus, In the hour of sweet communion
There is rest from ev’ry earthly care;
There are depths of love and peace like heav’n above,
When Jesus meets the soul in prayer.
2 Ev’ry day brings some new burden,
And my faith is sorely tried;
But the shadows flee when Jesus speaks to me,
As to the secret place I turn aside. [Refrain]
3 When the sun of joy is shining,
And the day is bright and fair,
In communion sweet I tarry at His feet
And tell Him how I love to meet Him there. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the cares of life sweep o'er me]
