If you know where to get a good photo of Paul or Wells (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
He goes with me upon the stormy ocean;
He bears me safely thro’ the restless sea;
He stills my fears, despite my life’s commotion,
And maketh all the winds a calm to me.
Refrain
He goes with me where’er I go,
Tho’ waves dash high or wild winds blow;
Yet this I know, whate’er betide,
He still will be my faithful guide.
He is the One who taught the sons of morning
To sing their songs of everlasting joy;
The saints of every age, His will adorning,
Have found unbounded peace in His employ.
Refrain
Redeemer of the world, the Rock of Ages,
Whose name too high and sacred for my voice,
No matter how the power of evil rages,
Can save the one who maketh Him his choice.
Refrain
Some day the storms of life will all be over,
And safe in port my anchor I will cast;
Till then I’ll trust in Jesus as my pilot,
Nor fear no ill, tho’ skies be overcast.
Refrain
