WHEN SHADOWS GATHER
(Charles Marshall / Frederick Edward Weatherly)


John McCormack - 1910





Walk with me, dearest, when shadows gather
We're all alone in the valley below
When tears are falling and voices calling
And all is darkness the way we go
Watch then, beloved, I need this hope

Pray with me, dearest, when dawn awakens
When o'er the mountains onward we fare
When clouds beset us and friends forget us
Pray then, beloved, I need thy prayer

Watch for me dearest, when thou hath left me
When through the long, lonely valley I fare
Come down from Heaven above to bless and guard me
Watch for me, dear, when life's dark shadows hide me
Oh, my beloved, watch for me there
Watch for me there in our Heaven
