Text:Stem the storm
Tune:STEM THE STORM

35a. Stem the storm

1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
and cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

Chorus:
We'll stem the storm, it won't be long,
The heavenly port is nigh:
We'll stem the storm, it won't be long,
We'll anchor by and by.
