| Behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak. (Luke 1:20) |
| He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. (Psa. 40:3) |
| Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I have remembered Thy name, O Lord, in the night. (Psa. 119:54‑55) |
The weight of an awful darkness
Hung over my soul like a pall;
And everything round me seemed
blackness —
No help but to struggle and fall. |
In my song, has been forgotten,
The touch of His hand in my plight;
Oh! how easy to sing in the sunshine —
He alone can give songs in the night. |
