lyrics

Midst the Darkness


Midst the darkness, storm and sorrow
One bright gleam I see
Well I know the blessed morrow
Christ will come for me
Midst the light, and peace, and glory
Of the father’s home,
Christ for me is waiting watching,
Waiting till I come.

Long the blessed Guide has led me
By the desert road;
Now I see the golden towers
City of my God
There, amidst the love and glory
He is waiting yet
On His hand a name is graven
He can ne’er forget

There, amidst the songs of heaven,
Sweeter to His ear
Is the footfall through the desert,
Ever drawing near.
There, made ready are the mansions,
Glorious, bright, and fair;
But the Bride the Father gave Him
Still is wanting there.

Who is this, who comes to meet me,
On the desert way,
As the Morning Star foretelling
God’s unclouded day?
He it is who came to win me,
On the Cross of shame;
In His glory well I know Him
Evermore the same.

O the blessed joy of meeting
Asll the desert past!
O the wondrous words of greeting
He shall speak at last!
He and I together ent’ring
Those bright courts above
He and I together sharing
All the father’s love.




Where no shade nor stain can enter,
Nor the gold be dim;
In the holiness unsullied
I shall walk with Him.
Meet companion, then for Jesus,
From Him, for Him, made
Glory of God’s grace for ever
There in me kisplayed.

He, who in the hour of sorrow
Bore the curse alone:
I, who through the lonely desert
Trod where He had gone.
He and I, in that bright glory
One deep joy shall share:
Mine, to be forever with Him,
His, that I am there.
