Dark and Stormy is the Desert sung by Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys
Dark and stormy is the desert,
Through which pilgrims make their way;
Yet beyond this vale of sorrows
Lie the fields of endless day.
O, young soldier, are you weary
Of the roughness of the way?
Does your strength begin to fail you,
And your vigor to decay?
Jesus, Jesus, will go with you,
He will lead you to his throne;
He whose thunder shakes creation,
He who bids the planets roll.
'Round him are ten thousand angels,
Ready to obey his command;
They'll all be there to hover round you,
Till you reach the Heavenly land.
There, on flowery hills of pleasure,
Lie the fields of endless rest,
Love, and joy, and peace forever,
Reign and triumph in your breast.
