In my dark and lonely hour

 

In my dark and lonely hour

 

In my dark and lonely hour

I will flee to Thee, my strong Tower

My highest hopes, my dreams I give

I die daily, but in Thee I live

Oh preserve me in Thy mercy

When trials almost overwhelm me.

They draw me still closer to You

Behold, all Your promises are true!

“I will never leave nor forsake.”

My God has promised to undertake!

His working is a mystery

For He sees through all eternity!

His ways—more than I comprehend

“Thoughts of peace and an expected end.”

Oh what a comfort to my soul!

My God is still in complete control!

And “lo, I am with you alway,”

He’s with me and listens when I pray,

“Wait on the Lord; be of good cheer.”

He will strengthen me when life is drear,

In my dark and lonely hour

I will flee to Thee, my strong Tower!

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
