Christ My Song - 1098
When the night is dark and dreary - "Toiling in Rowing"
(Hannah K. Burlingham/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
"Toiling in Rowing."
1. When the night is dark and dreary,
Jesus is nigh;
when we’re toiling, worn and weary,
Jesus is nigh.
Yes, the Lord is ever near us,
he is close at hand to cheer us,
safely shall our Pilot steer us,
Jesus is nigh. PDF - Midi
2. Troubled hearts, why sink for sorrow?
Jesus is nigh;
we shall sight the land tomorrow,
Jesus is nigh.
There is bliss beyond our knowing,
past the waterflood’s o'erflowing,
to "the other side" we’re going,
Jesus is nigh.
3. All his power in grace engaging,
Jesus is nigh;
though the sea be wildly raging,
Jesus is nigh.
When the lightnings round are playing,
hear his voice the storm allaying,
"Peace, be still!" the Lord is saying,
Jesus is nigh.
Hannah K. Burlingham, Wayside Songs, 1901, 192-193.
