When in the hour [hours] of lonely woe

Author: Josiah Conder
Tune: MELITA (Woodbury)
Published in 14 hymnals

Representative Text

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?
