When Jesus Meets the Soul

Author: J. V. R. Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: When the cares of life sweep o'er me Refrain First Line: O Jesus, In the hour of sweet communion Lyrics: 1 When the cares of life sweep o’er me, And my heart with grief is torn, When I steal away and find a place to pray, Then Jesus speaks and hope anew is born. Refrain: O Jesus, In the hour of sweet communion There is rest from ev’ry earthly care; There are depths of love and peace like heav’n above, When Jesus meets the soul in prayer. 2 Ev’ry day brings some new burden, And my faith is sorely tried; But the shadows flee when Jesus speaks to me, As to the secret place I turn aside. [Refrain] 3 When the sun of joy is shining, And the day is bright and fair, In communion sweet I tarry at His feet And tell Him how I love to meet Him there. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When the cares of life sweep o'er me]
