When my life seemed useless and I found it hard to pray then the Lord himself stood by me

Please help. I have this line and tune running through my head but can't find what hymn it comes from.
I don't know the name of this song but I heard it just last night in church. Here are the lyrics as I copied them down.
When I met with storm & trial & my heart was filled with fear
When there was no one around to speak a word of help and cheer
When I met defeat and failure and my courage ebbed away
When it seemed my life was useless & I found it hard to pray.
When my earthly friends forsook me and they all misunderstood
When my works they took for evil though I meant them all for good
When I walked the veil of sorrow and my heart was aching sore
When I faced the dark tomorrow with no ray of hope before.
Then the Lord Himself stood by me, And I had no cause to fear
Yes the Lord Himself stood by me, All was changed, Really changed
All was changed when He drew near.
