We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: Anna Bartlett Warner, 1820-1885 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #469 (1917) Topics: Sea Storms at ; Storms Of Life Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus: other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing: We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee. 4 We would see Jesus: yet the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong. 5 We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 6 We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #85 (1917) Topics: Storms At Sea Lyrics: 1 Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep, But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, Calm and still. 2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry, "O save us in our agony!" Thy word above the storm rose high, "Peace, be still." 3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep Sank like a little child to sleep; The sullen billows ceased to leap, At Thy will. 4 So, when our life is clouded o'er, And storm-winds drift us from the shore, Say, lest we sink to rise no more, "Peace, be still."

Fierce was the wild billow

Author: Dr. J. M. Neals, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #90 (1917) Topics: Storms At Sea Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night, Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white. Trembled the mariners; Peril was nigh. Then said the God of God, "Peace: it is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain wave, Lower thy crest; Wail of the tempest wind, Be thou at rest. Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly, Where saith the Light of light, "Peace: it is I." 3 Jesu, Deliverer, Come thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea; Thou, when the storm of death Roars sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of truth, "Peace: it is I."

In mercy hear Thy hungry children's cry, Father, give us this day our daily bread! 6 Sow in our hearts the seeds of Thy dear love, That we may reap contentment, joy, and peace; And when at last our earthly labours cease, Grant us to join Thy harvest home above.

No Change of Times shall ever move

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XVIII (1767) Topics: Description of Storms and Stress of Weather Lyrics: 1 No Change of Times shall ever move My firm Affection, LORD, to thee; For thou dost my Protection prove, A Fortress and Defence to me; My Trust is in thy Might and Pow'r; Thou art my Safeguard and my Tow'r. 2 To thee I will address my Pray'r, To whom all Praise we justly owe: So shall I by thy watchful Care, Be guarded from my treach'rous Foe; Nor will I all his Malice fear, If thou art with Assistance near. 3 By Floods of wicked Men distress'd; With deadly Sorrows compass'd round; With dire infernal Pangs oppress'd; In Death's unweildy Fetters bound; I made to GOD my humble Moan, Who heard me from his lofty Throne. Part II 4 When GOD arose, my Part to take, The conscious Earth was struck with Fear; The Hills did at his Presence shake; Nor could his dreadful Fury bear; Thick Smoke and Fire before him came, That Coals were kindled by the Flame. 5 He left the beauteous Realms of Light, Whilst Heav'n bow'd down its awful Head; Beneath his Feet substantial Night Was like a sable Carpet spread: His Chariot, Troops of Angels drew, Which on the winged Tempest flew. 6 Black wat'ry Mists and Clouds conspir'd With thickest Shades, his Face to veil; But at his Brightness soon retir'd, And fell in Show'rs of Fire and Hail: Thro' Heav'n his thund'ring Voice did roar, And Earth's with Coals was cover'd o'er. 7 His sharpen'd Arrows round he threw, Which made his scatter'd Foes retreat; Like Darts his nimble Lightnings flew, And quickly finish'd their Defeat; The Deep her secret Stores disclos'd, The World's Foundations lay expos'd. 8 The LORD did on my Side engage; From Heav'n, his Throne, my Cause upheld; And snatch'd me from the furious Rage Of threat'ning Waves that proudly swell'd; His Pow'r against my Foes employ'd, Or else my Soul had been destroy'd. 9 Their subtle Rage had nigh prevail'd, When I distress'd and friendless lay; But still, when other Succours fail'd, GOD was my firm Support and Stay; And did from Danger set me free, Because he took Delight in me. 10 Because in me no Guilt remains, GOD does his gracious Help extend; My Hands are free from bloody Stains, The LORD is therefore still my Friend: In his just Paths I always trod, Nor loosely wander'd from my GOD. 11 His Judgments I have kept in Sight; Did ev'n from darling Sins refrain; I never did his Statutes slight, And both my Heart and Hands are clean; His Favours therefore still endure, Because my Soul's sincere and pure. Part III 12 Thou suit'st, O LORD, thy righteous Ways, To various Paths of human kind; They who, for Mercy, merit Praise, With thee shall wond'rous Mercy find. The Just thy Purity shall see; The Perverse meet Returns from thee. 13 That he the humble Soul will save, And crush the Haughty's boasted Might; In me, the LORD, an Instance gave, Whose Darkness he hath chang'd to Light. 29 On his firm Succour I rely'd, Thro' him I did o'er Hosts prevail, Nor fear'd the highest Walls to scale. 14 For GOD's Designs shall still succeed; His Word will bear the utmost Test: He's a strong Shield to all that need, And on his sure Protection rest. Who then, but GOD, should be ador'd, Or who is mighty, like the LORD? 15 'Tis GOD that girds my Armour on, And all my just Designs fulfils; Thro' him, my Feet can swiftly run, And nimbly climb the steepest Hllls; Lessons of War from Him I take, Mine Arms a Bow of Steel can break, 16 The Buckler of his saving Health Protects me from assaulting Foes: His Hand sustains me still; my Wealth And Greatness from His Bounty flows: My Steps, no narrow Paths confin'd; He freed, and all my Ways design'd. 17 Thro' him, I num'rous Hosts defeat, And flying Squadrons captive take; Nor from my fierce Pursuit retreat, 'Till I a final Conquest make: To rear their Heads in vain they try, For at my Feet they vanquish'd lie. Part IV 18 GOD, when fresh Armies take the Field, Recruits my Strength, my Courage warms; He makes my strong Opposers yield, Subdu'd by my prevailing Arms; Thro' him my Feet my Foes shall press, Who hate and envy my Success. 19 With loud Complaints all Friends they try'd, But none was able to defend; At length to GOD, for Help, they cry'd; But GOD would no Assistance lend; Like Dust, their Troops I scatter'd round, And with their Bodies strew'd the Ground. 20 Our factious Tribes, at Strife till now, By GOD's Appointment, me obey; The Heathen to my Sceptre bow, And foreign Nations own my Sway; Remotest Realms their Homage send, And Strangers my Commands attend. 21 All to my Summons tamely yield, Or soon in Battle are dismay'd; For stronger Holds they quit the Field, And still in strongest Holds afraid. Then prais'd be GOD, in whom I rest; Who me with his Salvation bless'd. 22 'Tis GOD that still supports my Right, His just Revenge my Foes pursues; 'Tis he that with resistless Might, Fierce Nations to my Yoke subdues; From whom my lasting Honours flow; Who freed me from the bloody Foe. 23 Therefore, to celebrate his Fame, My grateful Voice to Heav'n I'll raise; And Nations, Strangers to his Name, Shall thus be taught to sing his Praise: "GOD to his King extends his Grace, "And crowns with Mercy David's Race.

To God my loud Complaints I made

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXVII (1767) Topics: Description of Storms and Stress of Weather Lyrics: 1 To God my loud Complaints I made, And he vouchsaf'd his powerful Aid; He to my humble Pray'r. Did lend a gracious Ear. All Night my fest'ring Wound did ragem, No Med'cine could the Pain assuage: My Soul indulg'd her Grief, Nor would accept Relief. 2 I thought on God, but then distress'd, I found my Spirits quite oppress'd; The more i did complain, The more encreas'd my Pain; My Grief is swell'd to such a Height, That thro' each tedious Watch of Night, Mine Eyes are kept awake; I sigh, but cannot speak. 3 I call'd to Mind those ancient Days, When I, exalted, sung thy Praise; Those Years so much renown'd; With signal Favours crown'd; By Night I recollect the Song That to my Trimphs did belong, And once such Joy impart, Then thus consult my Heart. 4 "Hath GOD withdrawn His Favour quite, "Is Mercy lost in endless Night? "Will he his promis'd Love "For evermore remove?" I said My Weakness doth supply These Fears, but in the LORD most high I shall securely stand, Protected by his Hand. 5 His Works of old I will relate, On them my Heart shall meditate; My Tongue shall them recite, The Wonders of his Might. Thy Promise, LORD, is ever sure, Thy Ways are holy, just, and pure, And deep thy Counsels are, Who can with thee compare? 6 Thou art the LORD, that dost display Amazing Wonders every Day, And all the World shall own, That thou art GOD alone; And Jacob's Seed and Joseph's Line, Have known thy Strength and Pow'r divine, Who didst thy Arm extend, And them with Might defend. 7 When thee, O GOD, the Waters saw, The troubled Deep was struck with Awe, The frigten'd Billows shrunk, And in their Channels sunk: The Clouds pour'd down, while rending Skies, Fill'd Earth and Heav'n with dread Surprize, And forth thine Arrows came, Wing'd with avenging Flame 8 Broad Sheets of livid Blaze appear; Thy Thunders roll, Earth shakes with Fear, Thy Paths in Waters lie; Nor can thy Steps descry: Thy People from hard Bondage freed, Thou didst by skillful Moses lead, And Aaron's sacred Hand, Safe thro' a desart Land. Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English Tune Title: [To God, my loud Complaints I made]

Would you behold the works of God

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CVII.IV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck Lyrics: 21 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, With the bold mariner survey The unknown regions of the sea. 22 They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favour of the wind! 'Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 23 Now to the heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! 24 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. 25 He bids the winds their wrath assuage, And stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er And hail with joy their native shore. 26 O may the sons of men record The wond'rous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107:21-26 Languages: English
