1 When the deep shadows linger around you,
When the dark clouds hide all the blue sky
Let not your griefs one moment confound you;
All your heart needs the Lord will supply.

Refrain:
Whisper your troubles softly to Jesus
Tell Him what brings you grief and distress;
Tell all the pains and losses to Jesus,
It is His joy to comfort and bless.

2 Hindered by doubt or pressed by temptation,
When your bright faith grows misty or dim,
Ask God for strength and sweet consolation,
Go to the Savior, tell it to Him. [Refrain]

3 O, there is comfort for every sorrow,
There is reward for labor and pain,
Night shadows go at dawn of the morrow,
Clouds quickly pass, but blessings remain. [Refrain]
