9. Hymn: In The Dark And Cloudy Day

In The Dark And Cloudy Day

Author: George Rawson

1. In the dark and cloudy day,
    When earth’s riches flee away,
    And the last hope will not stay,
    My Saviour, comfort me.

2. When the hoard of many years,
    Like a fleet cloud disappears,
    And the future's full of fears,
    My Saviour, comfort me.

3. When the secret idol’s gone,
    That my poor heart yearned upon.
    Desolate, bereft, alone,
    My Saviour, comfort me.

4. Thou, who wast so sorely tried,
    In the darkness crucified,
    Bid me in Thy love confide.
    My Saviour, comfort me.

5. Comfort me, I am cast down,
    Tis my Heavenly Father's frown;
    I deserve it all, I own;
    My Saviour, comfort me.

6. In these hours of sad distress,
    Let me know He loves no less,
    Bids me trust His faithfulness,
    My Saviour, comfort me.

7. Not unduly let me grieve,
    Meekly the kind stripes receive,
    Let me humbly still believe:
    My Saviour, comfort me.

8. So it shall be good for me,
    Much afflicted now to be,
    If thou wilt but tenderly,
    My Saviour, comfort me.
