Hush My Child

When you despair
When all hope is lost
When the lights seem dim
And the darkness grim
Listen,
The still small voice beckons
Hush my child, I am with you


When the road is drear
And the thorns cut deep
When the night seem endless
And the daylight far off
Listen to him say
Hush, I am with you child

When in desperation you cry
When in distress you weep
When in hopelessness you grovel in the dark
When in the darkest part of life
Remember, he is closest, if thou would but pause
And listen
To the still small voice say to you
Hush, my child hush I am with you
