In a dark time when my soul doth despair,
ever by my side, my Lord thou art there.
Little ones, mouth agape, too pleased, O so pleased, me to devour,
thou dost check, thou dost restrain, thou dost this my Lord, my Strong Tower.
In a dark time when my soul doth despair,
ever by my side, my Lord thou art there.
Brighter tomorrows shall ne’er wax dim, nay ne’er wax dim,
mine enemies thou hast smitten, even the greatest of these, my Sin.
Thus in a dark time my soul shall in nowise despair,
Sun of Righteousness my Lord, ever thou by my side, thou art there.
Yea in a dark time my soul shall in nowise despair,
Savior God my Lord, ever thou by my side, thou art there.
Yea in a dark time my soul shall in nowise despair,
Advocate, Friend, Helper my Lord, ever thou by my side, thou art there.
Thank you, my Lord. Praised be your Name great savior God. Amen.
