1 Sometimes the shadows o’er me fall,
I grope in vain a light to see,
When in my heart a voice doth say—
"O troubled one, come unto Me."
Refrain:
I hear His voice, and to Him go,
And find in Him a friend indeed,
Could I refuse His tender plea?
No, no, ’tis Him alone I need.
2 The voice still pleads in accents low,
But still I linger—O so weak—
Can I resist that voice so sweet?
No, no, ’tis peace and rest I seek. [Refrain]
3 So I will gladly heed His call,
And let Him with me ever say,
For He alone can give me life,
And light along my heav’nly way. [Refrain]
