Representative Text

1 I am held by God’s right hand,
Roll, billows, rill!
I fear naught on sea or land, so
Roll, billows, rill!

Refrain:
Roll, billows, rill!
Roll, billows, rill,
Jesus is my anchor and He’ll keep my soul from ev’ry foe;
So roll, billows, Roll,
Roll, billows, rill!
Jesus is my anchor and He’ll keep my soul.

2 What care I for rock or shoal?
Roll, billows, rill!
All God’s host surround my soul, so
Roll, billows, rill! [Refrain]

3 Tho’ what Satan should assail,
Roll, billows, rill!
In God’s might I shall prevail, so
Roll, billows, rill! [Refrain]

4 Oh, that you, my friend, could say
“Roll, billows, rill!
Christ is keeping me each day, so
Roll, billows, rill!” [Refrain]
