When in the dark

When in the dark

When in the dark of night I fear
and what I fear draws near, draws near,
Nearer still, yes nearer still,
God’s love is yet nearer still.

When in the heat of noon I quiver
and I am prey that shivers, shivers;
where shall I go or travel
save, flee to God, God’s love will still.

When in the frenzied tasks I lose
lose sight of what to do, to will
I will then, truly then I will,
turn to God, will do God’s will.
