Who Will Comfort Me? Lyrics










  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  








Darkness now is lifting
Dawn blushes in the sky
It lays a spread of gold
and red
And sings a lullaby
To a thousand quiet creatures
Of earth and
sky and stream
Who cannot know that paradise
Will one day be a
dream

When the last wagon rolls along
And fades into the west
And
cuts a trail of progress
Through a singing skylark's nest
When the last
woodland creature
Lifts her head to flee
And is snared by her
protector
Lord, who will set her free?

When the boundless
spirit
Has no place to roam
The heart will softly whisper
This world
is not my home

When the sweep of wind along the grass
Bows down to
destiny
When the last bright star has fallen
Lord, who will comfort
me?

When the last prairie flower
Gives up her yellow bloom
When
the high cathedral sky
Gives way to crowded rooms
When we partial
heaven
And fence eternity
When the wildness is all tamed and
torn
Don't let me live to see

When the last campfire flickers
And
is laid to righteous rest
When the ones who wander without fear
Are
cursed that once were blessed
When all your deeds of glory
Are laid in
front of thee
When you ask what man hath wrought
Don't rest your gaze on
me

When the boundless spirit
Has no place to roam
The heart will
softly whisper
This world is not my home

When the sweep of wind along
the grass
Bows down to destiny
When the last bright star has
fallen
Lord, who will comfort me?
