Fierce was the wild billow

Author: Dr. J. M. Neals, 1818-1866 Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Sea Perils of ; Sea With Christ at ; Storms At Sea Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, 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."

Love to Enemies; or, The Love of Christ to Sinners, typified in David

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea First Line: Behold the Love, the generous Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the generous Love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding Bowels move To his afflicted Foes! 2 When they are sick, his Soul complains, And seems to feel the Smart; The Spirit of the Gospel reigns, And melts his pious Heart. 3 How did his flowing Tears condole As for a Brother dead! And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his Head The righteous GOD returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While Sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with Tears. 6 He the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and belov'd of GOD, To save us Rebels dead in Sin, Paid his own dearest Blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14

Aow bright thine armies shine! Where is the power with thee that vies, Or truth compar'd with thine? 3 The Northern pole and Southern rest On thy supporting hand; Darkness and day from East to West, Move round at thy command. 4 Thy word the raging winds controul, And rule the boisterous deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep. 5 Heaven, earth, and air, and sea are thine, And the dark world of hell; They saw thine arm in vengeance shine When Egypt durst rebel. 6 Justice and judgment are thy throne, Yet wondrous is thy grace! While truth and mercy, join'd in one, Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-14

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom

Author: John Henry Newman Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,269 hymnals Topics: Travelers by Sea and Land Lyrics: Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead thou me on! Keep thou my feet! I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead thou me on! I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. Amen. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William Henry Burleigh Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Travelers by Sea and Land Lyrics: Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; Unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains, and folly dims our youth, And age comes on, uncheered by faith and hope. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night, Only with thee we journey safely on. Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrows as thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in thee. Amen. Used With Tune: LANGRAN
