The darken'd sky, how thick it low'rs!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #305 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The darken'd sky, how thick it low'rs! Troubled with storms, and big with show'rs; No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of God revive; God bids the soul, that seeks him, live; And, from the gloomiest shade of night, Calls forth a morning of delight. 3 The seeds of ecstasy unknown Are in these water'd furrows sown. See the green blades, how thick they rise, And with fresh verdure bless our eyes! 4 In secret foldings they contain Unnumber'd ears of golden grain; And heav'n shall pour its beams around, Till the ripe harvest load the ground. 5 Then shall the trembling mourner come, And find his sheaves and bring them home, The voice, long broke with sighs, shall sing, Till heav'n with hallelujahs ring.
