HYMN: SECOND SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Forth from the dark and stormy sky
Last Line: Turn not, o lord! Thy guests away!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


FORTH from the dark and stormy sky,
Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly;
Forth from the world, its hope and fear,
Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here:
Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray:
Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away!
Long have we roamed in want and pain,
Long have we sought Thy rest in vain;
Wilder'd in doubt, in darkness lost,
Long have our souls been tempest-tost:
Low at Thy feet our sins we lay;
Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away!
