A Hymn: Sleeping for Sorrow
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
The Composed Song
1. Even when sorrow fills my heart
Yea even when I have no hope
And when I cannot even pray
When I also sleep for sadness
Thy word has become my own hope
When all my hope has ‘ven ended
2. Even when I am valueless
And when I have been forsaken
When I have even been cast off
When they ‘ve made me weary of life
Oh thou Jesus even in love
Hath use thine hand to draw me close
3. When am betrayed by one I loved
And when I am on the sick bed
And when my loved ones ‘lso die
‘Stead of acquit when am convicted
Even in Jesus I have joy
‘Cause thou art even my comfort
4. When I have even been put down
And when my tear is even my food
That I am walking in fasting
That sorrow hath covered my heart
Thou wipeth off even my tears
Thou put an end to my fasting
