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.

There are the Glorified

Author: Jessie Brown Pounds Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 There are the glorified, Home, safe at home! There they shall e’er abive— Home, safe at home! Out of their stress of care Lifted by angels fair; Sheltered forever there, Home, safe at home! 2 There are the loved and lost, Home, safe at home! Ne’er to be grieved or crossed— Home, safe at home! Safe from the shade of fears, Safe from the chill of tears, Safe thru eternal years,— Home, safe at home! 3 There I shall rest at last, Home, safe at home! All the long journey past— Home, safe at home! Safe from the tempter’s charm, Safe from the dread of harm, Safe on my Saviour’s arm— Home, safe at home! Used With Tune: SAFE AT HOME
