\nWhen on life a darkness falls,
\nWhen the mist flows chilling,
\nPaths and sign posts lost in doubt,
\nLoveless, unfulfilling,
\nReach us, Jesus, from Your cross,
\nThough we feel forsaken;
\nKeep us through the aching night<\/p>\n
Till new dawns awaken.<\/p>\n
2
\nWhen the dreams and vows of youth
\nPainfully accuse us,
\nStab our conscience, steal our worth,
\nChrist will not refuse us:
\nPeace the world cannot provide,
\nDaily resurrection,
\nStrong companion at our side
\nFor each new direction.<\/p>\n
3
\nCome and meet Him, Friend and Lord,
\nThro’ the gospel story:
\nOpen door to life and peace,
\nWindow into glory.
\nAll who seek Him, soon are found,
\nMade His close relation:
\nChrist our pathway, Christ our home,
\nChrist our sure foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
