Light and Life Songs No. 2 ‎#46

46. It is Jesus

1 In the darkness, tempest tossed,
All my hope and courage lost,
Lo, a form upon the wave,
Who is He? And can He save?

Chorus:
It is Jesus,
It is Jesus,
All His word will He fulfill;
Hushed is ev’ry early tumult,
At His wondrous, “Peace be still.”

2 In the night with anguish filled,
When my heart with pain is thrilled,
In the dark One draweth nigh,
Calling gently, “It is I.” [Chorus]

3 When the sunshine from above,
Floods my path with light and love,
Who comes near, my joy to share?
Who is this, with smile so rare? [Chorus]

4 Coming, coming, evermore,
Dearer, dearer than before,
It is Christ, the Lord who died,
Risen, living, glorified. [Chorus]
