Affliction now has pulled me deep,
Where wave comes after wave;
Though o’er my head the billows roll,
I know the Lord can save.
The hand that now withholds my joys
Can reinstate my peace;
And he who made the tempest roar
Can bid that tempest cease.
In the darkest hours of the night,
I’ll count his mercies o’er;
I’ll praise him for ten thousand past,
And humbly plead for more.
When darkness and when sorrows rose
And pressed on every side,
The Lord has still sustained my steps,
And still has been my Guide.
Here will I rest and build my hopes,
Nor murmur at his rod;
He’s more than all the world to me,
My Health, my Life, my God!
In the darkest hours of the night,
I’ll count his mercies o’er;
I’ll praise him for ten thousand past,
And humbly plead for more.
Affliction now has pulled me deep,
But I know the Lord can save!
