Author: Mrs. H. B. Spoor Hymnal: Revival Praises #45 (1907) First Line: Does the world look dark and dreary? Lyrics: 1 Does the world look dark and dreary? Are your trials more and more? Have your feet grown tired and weary? Does the tempest round you roar? Chorus: Keep on praying, keep on praying, Tho' the storms be raging wild; Soon you'll hear a sweet voice saying: "Peace to you, my troubled child." 2 Do you sometimes think, most sadly, There is none your grief to share? Just remember, Jesus, gladly, Ev'ry burden waits to bear. {Chorus] 3 Pray'r will lift you nearer heaven, Into sunshine, pure and sweet; Darkest clouds will soon be riven, Soon be underneath your feet. [Chorus] 4 God is wise, and, if delaying Answer to your pray'r for aid, You must trust Him; keep on praying, Help will come; be not dismayed. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Does the world look dark and dreary?]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Does the world look dark and dreary?]" in The Old Story in Song Number Two William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
