Composer: | Fred Degen |
1 Are you with some sorrow burdened,
On your way no ray of light?
Strain your ear, all Heaven’s watching;
God can give you songs by night.
Refrain:
Weary soul, cease thy repining,
Burdened one, God’s ways are right;
Every cloud has silver lining;
God can give you songs by night.
2 Paul and Silas, prison fastened,
Shook the jail with earthquake might;
Band were rent, and doors were opened,
God had given songs by night. [Refrain]
3 It is oft in saddest moments
That our souls take highest flight;
And to strains of sweetest music
God doth set the songs by night. [Refrain]
