1 When dark, gloomy shadows
Creep over my soul,
I take it in prayer to my Savior;
When ’round me in fury
The wild billows roll,
I take it in prayer to my Savior.
Refrain:
Oh, what a privilege divine
To kneel at the Savior’s feet,
To carry each sorrow, hope and fear
To the life-giving mercy seat.
2 When floods of temptation
My soul would o’erflow,
I take it in prayer to my Savior;
When sore tribulations
My faith would o’erthrow,
I take it in prayer to my Savior. [Refrain]
3 When enemies injure,
Or friends me forsake,
I take it in prayer to my Savior;
When hopes all are blasted,
When cherished plans break,
I take it in prayer to my Savior. [Refrain]
4 I long every day to
Draw nearer His throne;
I take it in prayer to my Savior;
My peace and content in
His presence alone,
I take it in prayer to my Savior. [Refrain]
