IN THE DARK.
I KNOW it is dark, my darling,
And fearful the darkness seems,
But shut your eyes! in a moment
The night will be bright with dreams;
Or better, you'll sleep so sound all night
It will seem but a moment till morning light.
And fearful the darkness seems,
But shut your eyes! in a moment
The night will be bright with dreams;
Or better, you'll sleep so sound all night
It will seem but a moment till morning light.
There is only one kind of darkness
That need to trouble us, dear;
Only the night of temptation,
And then we must all of us fear,
But even then if we are but brave
There is One who is ever at hand to save.
That need to trouble us, dear;
Only the night of temptation,
And then we must all of us fear,
But even then if we are but brave
There is One who is ever at hand to save.
We have only to ask Him to help us,
And He will shield us from harm;
Only to whisper, "Jesus;"
His Name is a holy charm;
"Jesus, save me," we need but say
And the night of temptation will flee away.
And He will shield us from harm;
Only to whisper, "Jesus;"
His Name is a holy charm;
"Jesus, save me," we need but say
And the night of temptation will flee away.
