Welcome to me the darkest night,
If there the Saviour’s presence bright
Beam forth upon the soul dismayed,
And say, “ ’Tis I: be not afraid! ”
Welcome the fiercest waves that roll
Their deepening floods to whelm my soul
If he rebuke the storm of ill,
And bid the tempest, “Peace, be still!”
Welcome the thorniest path, if there
The print-marks of his feet appear:
If in is footsteps we may tread,
And follow where our Lord hath led.
I will not ask what else is mine,
If thou, O Lord, account me thine;
For what but joy can be my lot,
If God, my God, reject me not?
