Author: Weber Hymnal: Wondrous Love #16 (1885) First Line: Forth from the dark and stormy sky Refrain First Line: Weary and weak, thy grace we pray Lyrics: 1 Forth from the dark and stormy sky,
Lord, to Thine altar’s shade we fly,
Forth from the world, its hope and fear,
Savior, we seek thy shelter here.
Refrain:
Weary and weak, thy grace we pray;
Turn not, O Lord! thy guests away,
Low at thy feet our sins we lay,
Turn not, O Lord, thy guests away.
2 Long have we roamed in want and pain,
Long have we sought Thy rest in vain,
Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost,
Long have our souls been tempest-tossed. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Forth from the dark and stormy sky]
To Thine Altar
