Forth from the dark and stormy sky
1
Forth from the dark and stormy sky,Lord, to thine altar's shade we fly;Forth from the world, its hope and fear,Saviour, we seek thy shelter here:Weary and weak, thy grace we pray;Turn not, O Lord! thy guests away.
2
Long have we roamed in want and pain,Long have we sought thy rest in vain;Burdened with doubt, in darkness lost,Long have our souls been tempest-tossed.Low at thy feet our sins we lay;Turn not, O Lord! thy guests away.
