The Complaint under Darkness

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #287 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Rejoice in God, the word commands Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God, the word commands, And fain would I obey; Yet still my spirit lingering stands, While doubts impede my way. 2 How can my soul exult for joy, Which feels this load of sin? And how can praise my tongue employ, While darkness reigns within? 3 Whence should my lips give rapture birth, When I no rapture feel? Or how should notes of heavenly mirth, Sound from a breast of steel? 4 If falling tears and rising sighs, In triumph share a part; Then, Lord, behold these streaming eyes, And search this bleeding heart! 5 My soul forgets to use her wings; My harp neglected lies; For sin has broken all its strings, And guilt shuts out my joys. 6 The power, the sweetness, of thy voice, Alone my heart can move; Make me in Christ my Lord rejoice, And melt my soul to love.
