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." Used With Tune: DUNDAS CENTRE
Fierce was the wild billow
