The Disciples at sea
Hymnal: Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians #AXXI (1802) First Line: Constrain'd by their Lord to embark Lyrics: 1 Constrain'd by their Lord to embark,
And venture without him to sea;
The season tempestuous and dark,
How griev'd the disciples must be!
But tho' he remain'd on the shore,
He spent the night for them in pray'r,
They still were as safe as before,
And equally under his care.
2 They strove, tho' in vain for awhile,
The force of the waves to withstand;
But when they were wearied with toil,
They saw their dear Savior at hand:
They gladly receiv'd him on board,
His presence their spirits reviv'd;
The sea became calm at his word,
And soon at their port they arriv'd.
3 We, like the disciples are toss'd,
By storms on the perilous deep;
But cannot be possibly lost,
For Jesus has charge of the ship:
Tho' billows, and winds are enrag'd,
And threaten to make us their sport;
This pilot his word has engag'd,
To bring us in safety to port.
4 If sometimes we struggle alone,
And he is withdrawn from our view;
It makes us more willing to own
We nothing without him can do:
Then Satan our hopes would assail,
But Jesus is still within call;
And when our poor efforts quite fail,
He comes in good time, and does all.
5 Yet Lord, we are ready to shrink,
Unless we thy presence perceive;
O save us (we cry,) or we sink,
We would but we cannot believe:
The night has been long, and severe,
The winds and the seas are still high,
Dear Savior this moment appear,
And say to our souls it is I. Languages: English
