LyicsTOSS'D with rough winds, and faint with fear,
Above the tempest, soft and clear,
What still, small accents greet mine ear?
"'Tis I, 'tis I' be not afraid.
"'Tis I who led thy steps aright;
'Tis I who gave thy blind eyes sight;
'Tis I, thy Lord, thy Life, thy Light:
'Tis I, 'tis I; be not afraid.
"These raging winds, this surging sea,
Bear not a breath of wrath to Thee;
That storm has all been spent on me:
'Tis I, 'tis I; be not afraid.
"This bitter cup fear not to drink;
I know it well--O do not shrink!
I tasted it o'er Kedron's brink:
'Tis I, 'tis I; be not afraid.
"Mine eyes are watching by thy bed;
Mine arms are underneath thy head;
My blessings are around thee shed:
'Tis I, 'tis I; be not afraid.
"When on the other side thy feet
Shall rest 'mid thousand welcomes sweet,
One well-known voice thy heart shall greet,
'Tis I, 'tis I; be not afraid."
