1Whene'er the clouds of sorrow roll,

And trials whelm the mind,--

When, faint with grief, thy wearied soul

No joys on earth can find,--

Then lift thy voice to God on high,

Dry up the trembling tear,

And hush the low complaining sigh:

Fear not; thy God is near.

2When dark temptations spread their snares

And earth with charms allures,
