Evergreen Shore

We have nothing to fear from the wind and the wave, Under our Saviour's command; And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave, For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus] 3. Both the wind and the wave our Commander controls, Nothing can baffle his skill; And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls, Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus] 4. In the thick murky night, when the stars and the moon, Send not a glimmering ray, Then the light of his countenance, brighter than noon, Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus] 5. Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave, Fearfully overhead break; There is One by our side that can comfort and save, There is One who will never forsake.
