Lyrics

Lord, whom winds and waves obey,
Guide us through the wa­te­ry way;
In the hol­low of Thy hand
Hide, and bring us safe to land.

Jesus, let our faith­ful mind
Rest, on Thee alone re­clined;
Every anx­ious thought re­press,
Keep our souls in per­fect peace.

Keep the souls whom now we leave,
Bid them to each other cleave;
Bid them walk on life’s rough sea;
Bid them come by faith to Thee.

Save, till all these tem­pests end,
All who on Thy love de­pend;
Waft our hap­py spirits o’er;
Land us on the heav­en­ly shore.
