Lyrics

Verse 1 The winds and billows loudly roar we flounder in the deep Our bark is frail, far off the shore, and Jesus is asleep. Verse 2 "Save us, we perish, Lord," they cry; to Thee we fly for aid; "Awake! awake!" they say; but why so faithless and afraid? Verse 3 His head is pillow'd on the stern, as Man He is asleep; As God He all things does discern, and endless vigils keep. Verse 4 He does the elements control; by His Almighty Will. The angry waves their surges roll; and at His Word are still. Verse 5 O ye, who in the Church's Bark o'er life's rough ocean sail, When all around is drear and dark, and human efforts fail, Verse 6 Touch not, with rude, irreverent hands, and coward faithlessness, Him, who the winds and waves commands; but wait in quietness. Verse 7 O never, never when distressed, to doubtful means resort; Christ's Bark, when on the billow's crest, is safe as in the port....
