THE TEMPEST.
I
In storms and tempest still I dareThe danger of ten thousand waves;
And cast my all upon His care,
Whose arm ten thousand deaths outbraves.
II
With Jesus o'er the deep I sail,Tost to and fro with every wind;
The stormy blast or shiv'ring gale,
If so I may the haven find.
30
III
But, ah! the thousand fears I feel,The thousand dangers yet unpast:
The rocks o'er which I have to reel,
Ere makes my soul the Port at last.
IV
But O, my God! if thou art near,Or present in the ship with me;
What has ev'n unbelief to fear?
When lost—I'm only lost with Thee!
