Fierce was the billow wild,
dark was the night;
Oars labored heavily,
foam glimmered white.
Trembled the mariners;
peril was nigh:
Then said the God of God,
“Peace: it is I.”
Ridge of the mountain wave,
lower thy crest;
Wail of the tempest wind,
be thou at rest.
Sorrow can never be,
darkness must fly,
Where saith the Light of light,
“Peace: it is I.”
Jesus, Deliverer, near to us be;
Soothe thou my voyaging
over life’s sea;
Thou, when the storm
of death roars, sweeping by,
Whisper, O Truth of truth,
“Peace: it is I.”
