Sometimes

Verse 1

Sometimes our hearts are burdened with grief, Weary, and faint, and sad; Where shall we go to find sweet relief? Who then can make us glad?

Chorus

Call upon the Lord, Trust His sacred word, Never was a friend so true, He’ll dispel our fears, He’ll dry all our tears, If His works we do.

Verse 2

Sometimes the skies are dark overhead, Silent is ev’ry song; Who then shall bring us joys that have fled? Who then can right the wrong?

Verse 3

Sometimes the road is rugged and steep, Dangers before us lie; Oh! for a friend to help and to keep, One that is ever nigh.

Verse 4

Sometimes the friends we so dearly love, Pass from our sight away; Oh! how we long to meet them above, Where shines eternal day.
