He Rolls the Sea Away

Author: Emma Pitt Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #68 (1913) First Line: In ancient days, when Israel’s host Lyrics: 1 In ancient days, when Israel’s host In darkest bondage lay, The mighty pow’r of God was shown, He rolled the sea away. Refrain: He rolls the sea away! He rolls the sea away! With Jesus ever near, No foe have I to fear, He rolls the sea away! 2 The waves of sin swept o’er my soul, Temptations held their sway; The Lord spoke peace, and pardon gave, He rolled the sea away. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ doubts and fears obscure my path, With Jesus I will stay; He’ll keep me near His loving heart, And roll the sea away. [Refrain] 4 Lord Jesus, when in my last hour I face tow’rd realms of day, Thy presence then shall pilot me, And roll the sea away. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In ancient days, when Israel’s host]
