LyicsGLORY to thee, whose pow'rful word
Bids the tempestuous wind arise;
Glory to Thee, the sov'reign 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 gath'ring 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.
