GRH 395 In Darkest Ways, Jesus Is Near

(1)
When dark my way, the Lord comes near;
His gentle voice shows love.
He says, ‘I am the light, the way;
You need to follow me.’
To follow Him brings great reward;
My heart is full of light.
Although at times I go astray,
His Word, a lamp, gives sight.

(2)
When tired, no hope, the Lord appears;
His kind compassion shows.
He says, ‘My peace I offer you;
Why don’t you quickly come’
My Lord now gives support rest
As on His breast I lean.
At once He takes my cares away;
Gives joy and peace within.

(3)
I hunger, thirst; the Lord appears,
With sympathetic heart.
He says, ‘I will your soul sustain;
Come now to eat and drink.’
He gives in bountiful supply,
A satisfying feast.
My Spirit now no lack will have
Till I the Father see.
