2 Though in a foreign land, 3 5 We are not far from home; We ev'ry moment come. GOD's grace will to the end, Through all our journey shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench His love divine. When darkness veils our steps, Ah! why should guilty fears The promise and the oath of GoD Hymn. In a Storm. 1 THE billows swell, the winds are high, 2 O LORD, the pilot's part perform, And guide and guard me through the storm; Defend me from each threat'ning ill;:: Control the waves; say, "Peace, be still." 3 Amidst the roaring of the sea, My soul still hangs her hope on Thee: 4 Dangers of ev'ry shape and name 5 Though tempest-toss'd, and half a wreck, Hymn. Looking to God in the great water-flood. 1 GOD of my life, to Thee I call; When the great water-floods prevail, 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee, 4 That were a grief I could not bear, 5 Fair is the lot that's cast for me; 6 Poor though I am, despis'd, forgot, Hymn. In a Storm, with Christ our Refuge. 1 WHY those fears? behold 'tis JESUS olds the helm, and guides the ship: pread the sails, and catch the breezes Sent to waft us through the deep, To the regions Where the mourners cease to weep. 2 Could we stay where death was hov'ring? Could we rest on such a shore? No, the awful truth discov'ring, Leaving all we lov'd before. 3 Though the shore we hope to land on, Through the trackless deep move on, 4 Led by that, we brave the ocean; Led by that, the storms defy; Calm amidst tumultuous motion, Knowing that our LORD is nigh. Waves obey Him, And the storms before Him fly. 5 Render'd safe by His protection, Think on toils and dangers past. 6 O! what pleasures there await us! There the tempests cease to roar; There it is that those who hate us Can molest our peace no more. Trouble ceases On that tranquil happy shore. Hymn. In a Storm, with Christ our Refuge. 1 JESU, Lover of my soul, 2 Other refuge have I none, With the shadow of Thy wing! 3 Thou, O CHRIST, art all I want; I am all unrighteousness: Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Hymn. Struggle between Faith and Unbelief. 1 JESUS, our souls' delightful choice, |
