SAVE, OR I PERISH.

O, bid me come to thee, Jesus, my Lord! Loud roars the angry sea, Darkness o’ershadows me, Rude winds shriek threateningly; O, speak that cheering word!
Extend thy powerful arm, And help afford; My heart sinks in alarm, So dark and wild the storm; Yet thou canst shield from harm; Save, or I perish, Lord.
I’m sinking in the deep, My cry regard; Higher the dark waves creep, Over my head they leap, But thou my soul canst keep; Save, or I perish, Lord.
Speak to the billows wild, Peace, be thou still. O God, be reconciled! Through Christ, the undefiled, To me, thy erring child, Who’d humbly meet thy will.
Let me upon thee rest, O Saviour, dear! Thus I the waves may breast, By thy sweet presence blest; Naught may my peace molest, Whilst thou dost soothe each fear.
