A Present Help
Author: Ella E. Miles Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #67 (1902) First Line: A present help--When lowering clouds grow dark Lyrics: 1 A present help--When lowering clouds grow dark,
Nor light shines thro' our onward way to mark.
One vision of "beyond" then let us see.
One vision of "beyond" then let us see,
While we remember thou wilt ever be
A present help, A present help.
2 A present help--Toss'd by each billowy wave,
From rocks and shoals thou, Lord, alone canst save:
Guide thou us safely on life's fitful sea.
Guide thou us safely on life's fitful sea,
Be thou our Pilot, may we see in thee
A present help, A present help.
3 A present help--Tho' friends I love forsake,
And from my side all earthly aid would take;
In this dark hour, dear Lord, draw near to me,
In this dark hour, dear Lord, draw near to me,
And be to me as to thine arms I flee
A present help, A present help.
4 A present help--In each sad, trying hour
No need of ours can e'er exceed thy power;
From tempter's snares, from dangers thou wilt free,
From tempter's snares, from dangers thou wilt free,
And prove till time ends in eternity,
A present help, A present help. Tune Title: [A present help--When lowering clouds grow dark]

Frederick S. Stanton
1857 - 1915 Person Name: F. S. Stanton Composer of "[A present help--When lowering clouds grow dark]" in The Golden Sheaf Stanton, Frederick S. (New Bedford, Massachusetts, December 20, 1857--October 1, 1915, New Bedford). Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass. Ill health and a final paralysis limited activity in his later years, although he supplied in various churches around New Bedford.
He wrote words and music to a number of hymns, and composed the music for other Advent Christian hymn-writers. He was secretary of the Southern Massachusetts District Conference of his denomination. He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913). His obituary, by Willis G. Brown, is in The World's Crisis, 20 October 1915, p. 15.
