It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away our fears. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled mind; His manna for each hungry soul, The lost and weary find. 3 Blest Name! The rock on which we build, Our shield and resting place, Our never-failing comfort, filled With blessings of His grace! 4 O Jesus, Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, Our Prophet, Priest, and King, Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End, Accept the praise we bring.

When gathering clouds around I view

Author: Sir R. Grant, 1735-1838 Appears in 276 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy Lyrics: 1 When gathering clouds around I view, And days are dark, and friends are few, On Him I lean, who not in vain Experienced every human pain; He knows my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures all my tears. 2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom's narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the thing I would not do; Still He, who felt temptation's power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour. 3 If wounded love my bosom swell, Deceived by those I prized too well, He shall His pitying aid bestow, Who felt on earth severer woe At once betrayed, denied, or fled, By those who shared His daily bread. 4 And oh! when I have safely passed Through every conflict but the last, Still, still unchanging, watch beside My dying bed for Thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear away.

Bread of Angels, Here on earth our food, our stay! Alleluia! here the sinful Flee to you from day to day: Intercessor, friend of sinners, Earth's redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, You the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth your foot stool, heav'n your throne: You, within the veil, have entered, Robed in flesh, our great high priest: Here on earth both priest and victim In the eucharistic feast.
