Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For in my hour of darkness I may be
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Ever will Thy reign be
As I wander through this life
Though in this burden of my making
Yet in the shadows, still a light I see
Maker whose love is not forsaken
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Ever will Thy reign be
As I wander through this life
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Ever will Thy reign be
As I wander through this life
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
