Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Epiphany and Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, sailing on the sea,
through a storm on Galilee,
on a cushion fast asleep,
heedless of the raging deep:
your disciples, full of dread,
fearing they will soon be dead,
shake you, crying in despair,
"We are drowning! Don't you care?"
2 Soon, before the boat can spill,
you are shouting, "Peace! Be still!"
Now the wind and sea are calm,
and the crew are safe from harm.
You say, "Why are you afraid,
why distraught and so dismayed?
Is your trust in God so small;
do you have no faith at all?"
3 Your disciples, filled with awe,
say, "Who's known such things before?
Who is this we've seen today,
whom the wind and waves obey?"
Lord, though we are frightened too
by the harm the world can do,
calm our fears when tempests rise;
give us faith that never dies. Scripture: Luke 8:22-25 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
