1. |
Upon the mountain, when my Lord spoke
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke;
Looked all around me, It looked so fine,
I asked the Lord if all were mine. |

Oh, I have sorrows, and I have woe,
And I have heartache here below;
But while God leads me, I'll never fear,
For I am sheltered by His care. |
