2 of 4 verses set by the composer 1 Is there a lone and dreary hour, When worldly pleasures lose their power? My Father! let me turn to Thee, And set each thought of darkness free. 2 Is there an hour of peace and joy, When hope is all my soul's employ? My Saviour! still my hopes will roam, Until they rest with Thee, their home. 3 Is there a time of racking grief, Which scorns the prospect of relief? O Spirit1 break the cheerless gloom, And bid my heart its calm resume. 4 The noontide blaze, the midnight scene, The dawn, or twilight's sweet serene, The glow of life, the dying hour, Shall own, O God! thy grace and power.
