Tune:[Hope has left me, all is dark]
Composer:Jno. R. Sweney

28. Lost and Saved

1 Hope has left me, all is dark;
Waves are dashing round my barque;
Drifting farther from the shore,
I can stem the tide no more.

Chorus:
Savior, hide me on thy breast,
Hush my trembling heart to rest;
On this wild and stormy sea,
Help can only come from thee.

2 Faith grows weaker must I die?
Will my lone, despairing cry
Fall unheeded on thine ear?
Savior, must I perish here? [Chorus]

3 Walking yonder on the wave,
Who is he that comes to save?
Mild his visage, calm his brow
Jesus, Savior, is it thou? [Chorus]

4 Ah, I know that voice is thine:
Peace be still sweet words divine,
Parting every cloud away,
Letting in a glorious day! [Chorus]

5 On the rock whose lowering height
Fills with joy my wondering sight,
Lifted by thy loving hand,
Saved from wreck and death I stand. [Chorus]
