Author: Dr. J. M. Neals, 1818-1866 Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Sea Perils of ; Sea With Christ at ; Storms At Sea Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night, Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white. Trembled the mariners; Peril was nigh. Then said the God of God, "Peace: it is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain wave, Lower thy crest; Wail of the tempest wind, Be thou at rest. Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly, Where saith the Light of light, "Peace: it is I." 3 Jesu, Deliverer, Come thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea; Thou, when the storm of death Roars sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of truth, "Peace: it is I."

Love to Enemies; or, The Love of Christ to Sinners, typified in David

Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea First Line: Behold the Love, the generous Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the generous Love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding Bowels move To his afflicted Foes! 2 When they are sick, his Soul complains, And seems to feel the Smart; The Spirit of the Gospel reigns, And melts his pious Heart. 3 How did his flowing Tears condole As for a Brother dead! And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his Head The righteous GOD returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While Sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with Tears. 6 He the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and belov'd of GOD, To save us Rebels dead in Sin, Paid his own dearest Blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14

Aow bright thine armies shine! Where is the power with thee that vies, Or truth compar'd with thine? 3 The Northern pole and Southern rest On thy supporting hand; Darkness and day from East to West, Move round at thy command. 4 Thy word the raging winds controul, And rule the boisterous deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep. 5 Heaven, earth, and air, and sea are thine, And the dark world of hell; They saw thine arm in vengeance shine When Egypt durst rebel. 6 Justice and judgment are thy throne, Yet wondrous is thy grace! While truth and mercy, join'd in one, Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-14
