Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground

Dark is the night and cold the wind is blowing

Nearer and nearer comes the breakers' roar

Where shall I go or whither fly for refuge

Hide me my Father till the storm is o'er

Chorus

With His loving hand to guide let the clouds above me roll

And the billows in their fury dash around me

I can brave the wildest storm with His glory in my soul

I can sing amidst the tempest Praise the Lord

Dark is the night but cheering is the promise

He will go with me o'er the troubled wave

Safe He will lead me through the pathless waters

Jesus the mighty One and strong to save

Dark is the night but lo the day is breaking

Onward my bark unfurl thy every sail

Now at the helm I see my Father standing
