Representative Text

1 When in the tempest he’ll hide us,
When in the storm he’ll be near;
All the way ‘long he will carry us on,—
Now we have nothing to fear.

Refrain:
Jesus is strong to deliver,
Mighty to save, mighty to save!
Jesus is strong to deliver,
Jesus is mighty to save!

2 When in my sorrow he found me,
Found me, and bade me be whole,
Turn’d all my night into heavenly light,
And from me my burden did roll. [Refrain]

3 Why are you doubting and fearing,
Why are you still under sin?
Have you not found that his grace doth abound,
He’s mighty to save, let him in! [Refrain]

4 You say, “I am weak, I am helpless,
I’ve tried again and again;”
Well, this may be true, but it’s not what you do,
‘Tis he who’s the “mighty to save.” [Refrain]
