Author: A. A. Payn Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 #18 (1907) First Line: The clouds may hover o'er me Lyrics: 1 The clouds may hover o’er me, The storms about me break, My Saviour’s passed before me And knows the way I take. Refrain: He knoweth the way I take, He knoweth the way I take, Whate’er betide he’s at my side And never will he forsake, He knoweth the way I take, He knoweth the way I take, In joy or pain, in loss or gain, He knoweth the way I take. 2 Tis heaven all around me; And if I sleep or wake My Saviour’s love surrounds me, He knows the way I take. [Refrain] 3 There may be heavy sorrows Along my earthly way, There is no dread, “Tomorrow” But ever bright today. [Refrain] 4 So if the day be dreary, And if the nights be long, And if my soul grows weary I’ll sing this joyous song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [The clouds may hover o'er me]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[The clouds may hover o'er me]" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
