The billows swell the winds are high,
Clouds overcast my wintry sky;
Out of the depths to thee I call,
My fears are great, my strength is small.
O Lord, the pilot�s part perform,
And guide and guard me through the storm;
Defend me from each threatening ill,
Control the waves, say, �Peace, be still!�
Amidst the roaring of the sea,
My soul still hangs her hope on thee;
Thy constant love, thy faithful care,
Is all that saves me from despair.
Dangers of every shape and name
Attend the followers of the Lamb,
Who leave the world�s deceitful shore,
And leave it to return no more.
Though tempest�tossed and half a wreck,
My Saviour through the floods I seek;
Let neither winds nor stormy main,
Force back my shattered bark again.
God of my life, to thee I call.
Afflicted at thy feet I fall;
Do thou the pilot's part perform.
And guide and guard me thro' the storm.
