Joy in my sad­ness, hope in my tears;
Now let Thy pre­sence ban­ish all my fears.
Lo, I am wait­ing, here at Thy throne;
O my Re­deem­er, leave me not alone.

Refrain

Wherever I may go, wher­ev­er I may be,
Thou in whom I trust, O still abide with me;
Keep this heart of mine,
And hide my life with Thine,
That I may ga­ther with the faith­ful.

Come when the morn­ing breaks on my sight;
Come in the noon­tide, love­ly, calm and bright;
Come when the day-beams gent­ly have flown;
O my Re­deem­er, leave me not alone.

Refrain

Star of the wea­ry, rise on my way;
Where Thou art lead­ing, joy­ful I ob­ey.
When, o’er life’s ocean, storm bil­lows foam,
O my Re­deem­er, safe­ly bear me home.

Refrain
