Fierce Was the Billow Wild

Author: Anatolius (Greek; date unknown) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the billow wild, Dark was the night; Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white; Trembled the mariners, Peril was drawing nigh; Then said the God of God, "Peace! It is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain-wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of the tempest fierce, Be thou at rest! Sorrow must never be, Darkness must ever fly, Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! It is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, fiercely sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I." Amen.
