Dark Is the Night

Dark is the night

And cold the wind is blow­ing

Nearer and near­er

Comes the break­ers’ roar;

Where shall I go

Or whi­ther fly for re­fuge?

Hide me

my Fa­ther

Till the storm is o’er.

With His lov­ing hand to guide

Let the clouds ab­ove me roll

And the bil­lows in their fu­ry

Dash around me.

I can brave the wild­est storm

With His glo­ry in my soul

I can sing amidst the tem­pest—

Praise the Lord!

Dark is the night

But cheer­ing is the pro­mise

He will go with me

O’er the trou­bled wave;

Safe He will lead me

Through the path­less wa­ters

Jesus

the migh­ty One

And strong to save.

Dark is the night

But lo! the day is break­ing

Onward my bark

Unfurl thy ev­ery sail

Now at the helm I see

My Fa­ther stand­ing

Soon will my an­chor

Drop with­in the veil.
