Looking Upwards in a Storm

Verse 1

The billows swell, the winds are high Clouds overcast my wintry sky; Out of the depths to thee I call, My fears are great, my strength is small.

Verse 2

O Lord, a Saviour's part perform, And guide and guard me thro' the storm; Defend me from each threat'ning ill, Control the waves, say, "peace, be still."

Verse 3

Amidst the roaring of the sea, My souls still hands her hope on thee; Thy constant love, thy faithful care, Is all that saves me from despair.

Verse 4

Dangers of ev'ry shape and name, Attend the follow'rs of the Lamb, Who leave the world's deceitful shore, And leave it to return no more.

Verse 5

God of my life, to thee I call, Afflicted at thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail!
