From every stormy wind that blows

Author: Hugh Stowell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,323 hymnals Topics: Travelers by Sea and Land Lyrics: From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all beside more sweet; It is the bloodstained mercy-seat. There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. There, there, on eagles' wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. Used With Tune: RETREAT

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 3,382 hymnals Topics: Sea Storms at Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

A little ship was on the sea

Author: Dorothy Ann Thrupp Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Great Wind at Sea Lyrics: 1. A little ship was on the sea, It was a pretty sight; It sailed along so pleasantly, And all was calm and bright. And all was calm and bright, And all was calm and bright, It sailed along so pleasantly, And all was calm and bright. 2. The sun was sinking in the west; The shore was near at hand, And those on board with hearts at rest, Thought soon to reach the land. Thought soon to reach the land, Thought soon to reach the land, And those on board with hearts at rest, Thought soon to reach the land. 3. When lo! a storm began to rise; The wind grew loud and strong; It blew the clouds across the skies; It blew the waves along. It blew the waves along, It blew the waves along, It blew the clouds across the skies; It blew the waves along. 4. And all but One were sore afraid Of sinking in the deep; His head was on a pillow laid, And He was fast asleep. And he was fast asleep, And he was fast asleep, His head was on a pillow laid, And he was fast asleep. 5. "Master, we perish! Master, save!" They cried; their master heard: He rose, rebuked the wind and wave, And stilled them with a word. And stilled them with a word, And stilled them with a word, He rose, rebuked the wind and wave, And stilled them with a word. 6. He to the storm said, "Peace, be still!" The raging billows cease; The mighty winds obey His will, And all are hushed in peace. And all are hushed in peace, And all are hushed in peace, The mighty winds obey His will, And all are hushed in peace. 7. They greatly wondered -- so may we, And ask as well as they, Who could this glorious Person be, Whom winds and seas obey? Whom winds and seas obey, Whom winds and seas obey, Who could this glorious Person be, Whom winds and seas obey. 8. O well we know it was the Lord, The Saviour and the Friend, Whose care of those who trust His word Will never, never end. Will never, never end, Will never, never end, Whose care of those who trust His word Will never, never end. Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27 Used With Tune: A LITTLE SHIP Text Sources: HE 50 (= Ad 797

God a Very Present Help

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: The Sea First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, Our ever present aid, And therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amid the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most High has His abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA
