Sometimes when the shadows are gathering low

Representative Text

1 Some times when the shadows are gathering low,
The love of the Savior shines thro'
Some times when the way seems too hard as we go,
The love of the Savior shines thro'

Chorus:
The love of the Savior shines thro'
The love of the Savior shines thro',
It's shining for me it is shining for you,
The love of the Savior shines thro'.

2 Some times when our efforts for Him seem in vain,
The love of the Savior shines thro'
Some times when it seems that the crown we can't win,
The love of the Savior shines thro' [Chorus]

3 Some times when it seems that our life is but tears,
The love of the Savior shines thro'
Some times when we're losing a loved one so dear,
The love of the Savior shines thro' [Chorus]
