Sometimes the sky is overcast
Author: Miss J. H. Johnston Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #433 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Sometimes the sky is overcast,
I fear to lose my way;
Until the storm be over-past,
O keep me safe, I pray.
In darkness, danger, and in doubt,
My heart is sore dismayed,
But "I will trust in Thee, O Lord,
What time I am afraid."
2 From all the unknown future days
My timid heart recoils,
But known to God are all my ways,
And all my cares and toils.
The wisdom, power, and might are Thine,
But mine the promised aid,
And "I will trust in Thee, O Lord,
What time I am afraid."
3 When twilight shadows softly fall,
And night comes on apace,
In life and death, O Lord of all,
I would behold Thy face.
The final hour, oh, let me meet
In peace, and undismayed,
For "I will trust in Thee, O Lord
What time I am afraid."

He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors.

In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century.

1807 - 1882 Person Name: W. H. Callcott, 1807-1882 Composer of "ELIM" in Methodist Hymn and Tune Book CALLCOTT, WILLIAM HUTCHINS (1807–1882), musical composer, a younger son of Dr. John Wall Callcott [q. v.], was born at Kensington in 1807. As a child he received some instruction from his father, and later continued his studies under his brother-in-law, William Horsley. On 4 July 1830 he was elected a member of the Royal Society of Musicians. In 1836 he published an abridgment of his father's ‘Grammar,’ in 1840 a collection of psalm and hymn tunes for Bickersteth's ‘Christian Psalmody,’ and in 1843 ‘The Child's own Singing Book.’ In the latter work he was assisted by his wife Maria, who was the authoress of several unimportant religious stories, &c. In 1851 Callcott published ‘Remarks on the Royal Albert Piano’ (exhibited at the International Exhibition), and in 1859 ‘A few Facts on the Life of Handel.’ Callcott was for some years organist of Ely Place Chapel. In the latter part of his life he suffered much from ill-health. He died at 1 Campden House Road, Kensington, on 5 Aug. 1882, and was buried on the 9th at Kensal Green. Callcott composed several songs, glees, and anthems, but his name is principally known by his arrangements and transcriptions for the piano, which amount to many hundred pieces. A son of his, Robert Stuart Callcott, who showed great promise as an organist and musician, died in the spring of 1886 at an early age.
