Lyrics and chords:-
C Em F G
WHEN TROUBLES BESET ME and black is the day,
C Em F G
When sweet little evils would lead me astray,
C Em
When all sight has failed
F G
and poor faith takes the strain,
Am Em F G C
I will call out to God to restore me again.
C Em F G C
May Jesus be with me wherever I go,
C Am F G
His power before me, his peace here below,
C Am F G
His love on my left and his word on my right,
C Em F G C F C G
Oh Jesus, my Saviour, be with me tonight.
When strong winds come lashing the walls of my home,
I’ll turn then to Jesus who sits on the throne,
And call out for strength to endure such a storm
In the pitch black of midnight, I’ll pray for the dawn.
And when I draw close to the end of my days,
When all of life’s colours have faded to grey,
I shall not despair I will wait for the dawn,
When the Lord in his mercy will carry me home.
