Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #696 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When in the hours of lonely woe
I give my sorrow leave to flow,
And anxious fear and dark distrust
Weigh down my spirits to the dust;
2 When not e'en friendship's gentle aid
Can heal the wounds the world has made
O this shall check each rising sigh,
That Jesus is forever nigh.
3 His counsels and upholding care
My safety and my comfort are,
And he shall guide me all my days,
Till glory crown the work of grace.
4 Jesus, in whom but thee above
Can I repose my trust, my love?
And shall an earthly object be
Loved in comparison with thee? Topics: The Christian Comfort and Encouragement Tune Title: MELITA
