When the clouds were dark above me,
And I heard the bil­lows roll,
How the lov­ing voice of Je­sus
Whispered com­fort to my soul!

Refrain

Onward, then, I’ll move in tri­umph,
Till I reach the oth­er shore,
There to ga­ther with the faith­ful
When the storms of life are o’er.

When the fierc­est storms were rag­ing,
And I found no earth­ly rest,
Then my wea­ry head He pil­lowed
On His kind and faith­ful breast.

Refrain

Let me hear Thy voice, my Sav­ior,
While I tread the vale of life;
Let me hear its tones, so gen­tle,
’Mid the con­flict and the strife.

Refrain

Let my spir­it glad­ly fol­low
Where Thou lead­est day by day;
When Thou call­est, bless­èd Sav­ior,
Let me ne­ver an­swer, Nay.
