The Sky Above Was Cloudless,
The Sun Shone Clear And Bright,
The World Seemed Full Of Gladness,
And Birds Sang With Delight;
But Soon The Sky Grew Gloomy,
Dark Shadows I Could See,
Ere Long I Heard A Whisper,
“Come Closer, Child, To Me.”
“Come, Oh, Come, Thou Troubled One,
For Refuge Come To Me!
Come, Oh Come,” The Savior Pleads,
“Come Closer, Child To Me!”
I Knew It Was The Savior,
And Quick Ran To His Side,
And There In Sweet Submission
Securely Did Abide;
But Still The Sky Grew Darker,
Till Light I Scarce Could See;
Again I Heard The Whisper,
“Come Closer, Child, To Me.”
I Then Gave All To Jesus,
And Leaned Upon His Breast;
He Filled My Soul With Sweet Peace,
And Gave Me Perfect Rest;
And Now, Tho’ Storms Are Raging,
My Heart From Fear Is Free,
For I Belong To Jesus,
And He Belongs To Me.
