Lyics

Thy way is in the deep, O Lord!

E'en there we'll go with thee;

We'll meet the tempest at thy word,

And walk upon the sea!



Poor tremblers at his rougher wind,

Why do we doubt him so?-

Who gives the storm a path, will find

The way our feet shall go.



A moment may his hand be lost,-

Drear moment of delay!-

We cry, "Lord, help the tempest tost,"-

And safe we're borne away.
