Hymn/Song Information

This life is dark my Father I can not go aright




This life is dark, my Father,
I can not go aright;
Oh, take my hand, my Father,
And guide me to the light.


The way is long, my Father,
Thorns bleed my weary feet;
Oh, come to me, my Father,
It will be very sweet.


I’m faint and weary, Father,
Contending with the tide;
Oh, draw me near thee, Father,
Close, close to Thy dear side.


Long have I toiled, my Father,
While fears oppressed me sore,
Lift me above them, Father,
Up to the heavenly shore.


The cross is heavy, Father,
Its weight does crush me down;
Oh, take me, take me, Father,
And with thy arms surround.
