Forth from the dark and stormy sky

Reginald Heber (1807) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 32:2

Verse 1

Forth from the dark and stormy sky, Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here: Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray: Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away.

Verse 2

Long have we roamed in want and pain, Long have we sought Thy rest in vain; Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost, Long have our souls been tempest-tost; Low at Thy feet our sins we lay:; Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away.
