Lyrics

When the deep sha­dows lin­ger around you,
When the dark clouds hide all the blue sky
Let not your griefs one mo­ment con­found you;
All your heart needs the Lord will sup­ply.

Refrain

Whisper your trou­bles sof­tly to Je­sus
Tell Him what brings you grief and dis­tress;
Tell all the pains and loss­es to Je­sus,
It is His joy to com­fort and bless.

Hindered by doubt or pressed by temp­ta­tion,
When your bright faith grows mis­ty or dim,
Ask God for strength and sweet con­so­la­tion,
Go to the Savior, tell it to Him.

Refrain

O, there is com­fort for ev­ery sor­row,
There is re­ward for la­bor and pain,
Night sha­dows go at dawn of the mor­row,
Clouds quick­ly pass, but bless­ings re­main.

Refrain
