When I listen to thy word
In thy temple, cold and dead;
When can not see thee, Lord,
All faith's little daylight fled—
Sun of glory,
Beam again around my head.
When thy statutes I forsake;
When my graces dimly shine;
When thy covenant I break—
Jesus, then remember thine:
Check my wanderings
By a look of love divine.
"When thy heavenly dew distils,
And my views, O Lord, are clear—
Clear and bright from Zion’s hills,
Temper joy with holy fear;
Keep me watchful,
Only safe when thou art near.
When afflictions cloud my sky,
When the tide of sorrow flows,
When thy rod is lifted high,
Let me on thy love repose:
Stay the rough wind,
When thy chilling east wind blows.
When the vale of death appears,
Faint and cold this mortal clay,
Kind Forerunner! soothe my fears,
Light me through the darksome way
Break the shadows—
Usher in eternal day!
