[O may I cry for help to Thee]

When he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid, &c. —xiv. 30.

O may I cry for help to Thee
The moment I begin
To sink into the troubled sea,
Or yield to my own sin!
I know, in answer to my prayer,
Thou wouldst extend Thine hand,
My soul above the billows bear
To the celestial land.
