Forth from the Dark and Stormy Sky

Forth from the dark and stor­my sky

Lord

to Thine al­tar’s shade we fly;

Forth from the world

its hope and fear

Savior

we seek Thy shel­ter here:

Weary and weak

Thy grace we pray;

Turn not

O Lord

Thy guests away!

Long have we roamed in want and pain

Long have we sought Thy rest in vain;

Wildered in 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!
