631 - When on Life a Darkness Falls

When on life a darkness falls,
When the mist flows chilling,
Paths and signpost lost in doubt,
Loveless unfulfilling,
Reach us, Jesus, from Your cross,
Though we feel forsaken;
Keep us through the aching night
Till new dawn awaken.

2
When the dreams and vows of youth
Painfully accuse us,
Stab our conscience, steal our worth,
Christ will not refuse us:
Peace the world cannot provide,
Daily resurrection,
Strong companion at our side
For each new direction.
