694. When power divine in mortal form

1 When power divine, in mortal form,
Hushed with a word the raging storm,
In soothing accents Jesus said,
"Lo, it is I; be not afraid."

2 So when in silence nature sleeps,
And lonely watch the mourner keeps,
One thought shall every pang remove,
Trust, feeble man, thy Maker's love.

3 And when the last, dread hour shall come,
While trembling nature waits her doom,
This voice shall wake the righteous dead
"Lo, it is I, be not afraid."
