WHEN SHADOWS FALL
Russian folk Songs with English Translations p 52 # 43

When sha-dows fall u-pon my heart,
and clouds u-pon my ways,
I raise mine eyes to Heav'n in pray'r,
a pray'r from child-hood's days.

Bright hope the humble words unfold,
and blessing in them lies.
My skies are clear and smooth my way,
when from my heart they rise.

The clouds, the shadows pass away,
all fears and doubting cease;
My soul is strong in faith again,
and in my heart is peace.
