631 ~ When On Life A Darkness Falls
1
When on life a darkness falls, When the mist flows chilling, Paths and signposts lost in doubt, Loveless, unfulfilling, Reach us, Jesus, from Your cross, Though we feel forsaken; Keep us through the aching night Till new dawns awaken.
2
When the dreams and vows of youth Painfully accuse us, Stab our conscience, steal our worth, Christ will not refuse us: Peace the world cannot provide, Daily resurrection, Strong companion at our side For each new direction.

Come and meet Him, Friend and Lord, Thro' the gospel story: Open door to life and peace, Window into glory. All who seek Him, soon are found, Made His close relation: Christ our pathway, Christ our home, Christ our sure foundation.
