HYMN 131. Child of Light in Darkness.
Lam. 3.2. And brought me into darkness.
1 Darkness sometimes, Lord, doth invade The Children of the Day; Yet we should, when we want sweet Light, Our Souls upon thee stay.
1 DArkness sometimes, Lord, doth invade The Children of the Day; Yet we should, when we want sweet Light, Our Souls upon thee stay.
2 The Sun sometimes is hid from us, And then with us 'tis Night; So Darkness doth upon us seize, When we have lost the sight
3 Of thee, O Lord, if thou art hid, That we can't see thy face; O then 'tis night, and we bewail Our sad and woeful case.
