O Zion, Afflicted with Wave upon Wave

Author: James Grant Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5548 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1. O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave, Whom no mortal power can succor or save; With sickness surrounded, by terrors dismayed, In toiling and watching, thy strength is decayed. 2. Loud roaring and swelling, the billows o’erwhelm, But skillful’s the Pilot that sits at the helm; His wisdom conducts thee, His power thee defends, In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends. 3. O fearful, O faithless, in mercy He cries, “My promise, My truth, are they small in thine eyes? Still, still I am with thee, My promise shall stand, Through tempest and tossing, I’ll bring thee to land. 4. “Forget thee, I will not, I cannot, thy name Engraved on My heart doth for ever remain; The palms of My hands, whilst I look on I see The wounds I received when I suffered for thee. 5. “Then trust Me, and fear not, thy life is secure, My wisdom is perfect, supreme is My power; In love I correct thee, thy soul to refine, And cause thee at length in My likeness to shine. 6. The doubting, the fearful, the weak are My care, The helpless, the hopeless, I hear their sad prayer; From all their afflictions, My glory shall spring, The deeper their sorrows, the louder they’ll sing.

O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #226 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave, Whom no man can comfort, whom no man can save; With darkness surrounded, by terrors dismay'd, In toiling and rowing, thy strength is decay'd. 2 Loud roaring, the billows now nigh o’erwhelm, But skilful’s the Pilot who sits at the helm; His wisdom conducts thee, His power thee defends; In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends. 3 "O fearful! O faithless!" in mercy He cries; “My promise, my truth, are they small in thine eyes? Still, still I am with thee, my promise shall stand; Through tempest and tossing I’ll bring thee to land."
