Author: Martha J. Lankton Hymnal: Living Hymns #65 (1890) First Line: When doubt and conflict weigh me down Refrain First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee Lyrics: 1 When doubt and conflict weigh me down,
and clouds before me rise,
Whose gath’ring gloom and deep’ning shade
With sorrow fills mine eyes,
‘Tis then I lift my fainting soul,
In prayer that I may be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
2 When joys that once I thought so true
Have lost each balmy sweet,
And withered hopes, like summer flowers,
Lie crushed beneath my feet,
With quivering lip and yearning heart
I pray on bended knee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
3 While day by day I journey on
To reach that world sublime,
That stands in perfect loveliness
Beyond the shore of time;
My faith looks up and softly breathes
The prayer so dear to me,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: [When doubt and conflict weigh me down]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[When doubt and conflict weigh me down]" in Give Thanks and Sing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
