1 The Lord be prais'd the storm is past! That fearful and alarming blast: That cloud of horror, black as night, Is fled, and we enjoy the light.
2 A welcome change, for just before We heard the fearful thunder roar; Despair beset us all around, To hear and feel that awful sound.
3 The Lord was pleas'd to hear our cry, And let his judgments pass us by; He look'd on us in our distress, And caus'd our dreads and fears to cease.
4 We join to sing our Saviour's praise! Who has preserv'd us all our days: In ev'ry dark and trying hour, He guards against the tempter's pow'r.Source: Church Hymn Book: consisting of newly composed hymns with the addition of hymns and psalms, from other authors, carefully adapted for the use of public worship, and many other occasions (1st ed.) #CCCXXXIX
