The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers!

Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Confidence and Resignation Weeping Seed-time, joyful Harvest Lyrics: 1 The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers! Troubled with storms, and big with showers; No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of grace 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 extasy 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 bind his sheaves, and bring them home; The voice long broke with sighs, shall sing, Till heav'n with Hallelujahs ring.
