Author: Ralph Atkinson Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #50 (1913) First Line: The night is dark, the waves run high Refrain First Line: "All is well!" "All is well!" Lyrics: 1 The night is dark, the waves run high, Nor moon or stars in yonder sky; What cheer above the stormy swell? The lookout’s answer, “All is well.” Refrain: “All is well!” “All is well!” What cheer to know that “all is well!” “All is well!” “All is well!” The lookout answers “All is well.” 2 I sleep upon the billows crest, Like John upon the Master’s breast; For He my ev’ry fear doth quell With His good message, “All is well.” [Refrain] 3 By grief and sin thy soul oppressed, And all around thee in unrest, How blest to hear the lookout’s bell, And Jesus calling “All is well.” [Refrain] 4 No sleep e’er dims our pilot’s eyes, He’s e’er attentive to our cries; He’ll save us from a sinner’s hell, And cheer our hearts with “All is well.” [Refrain] 5 Rest peacefully upon the deep, For Jesus evermore will keep; The word pass on, to others tell, The Lookout’s answer, “All is well.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [The night is dark, the waves run high]
