LyicsGlory to thee, whose powerful word
Bids the tempestuous wind arise!
Glory to thee, the sovereign Lord
Of air and earth, and seas and skies.
Let air, and earth, and skies obey,
And seas thine awful will perform;
From them we learn to own thy sway.
And shout to meet the gathering storm.
What tho' the floods lift up their voice,
Thou hearest, Lord, our silent cry;
They can not damp thy children's joys,
Or shake the soul, while God is nigh.
Roar on, ye waves; our souls defy
Your roaring to disturb their rest;
In vain t' impair the calm ye try-
The calm in a believer's breast.
