HQ Day 31 - Til the Storm Passes By

One of my favorite gospel songs by the Gaithers is Til the Storm Passes By.  I tried to copy a link to a YouTube of them singing this song, but could not get it to work.  Last night we had a bad storm and today all the power is off...has been off since 8:45 last night.  Lots of wind, lightening, thunder, and darkness last night and I thought of this song.  We are in a storm of many things these days,  but this morning when I got up, still dark but gradually the sun arose, the birds sang and the storm had passed by.  Power is still off, but that makes everything still, quiet. My heart is at peace as I see it as a reminder that this storm in the world will also pass by.

I did not make this quilt, but pulled the picture off the internet (Etsy)  This is a Storm at Sea quilt  - pattern offered by Generations Quilt Pattern

‘Til the Storm Passes By


In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face

While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more

Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try

For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more

Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand

Keep me safe till the storm passes by
