He spoke! Obe­di­ent, trem­bling, awed,
The wild winds hushed; the ang­ry deep
Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine en­fold;
O Je­su, Sav­ior, at whose voice
When the bil­lows, heav­ing dark,
To save th’in­vad­ed land.
His cap­tives to de­stroy.
Calmed the pulses of the sea,
Till with thirst and hun­ger pressed
To my home which was far out of sight.
In wild dis­may the guards around,
While they passed through di­vers tor­tures,
Without a mur­mur­ing word.
I was poor as the poor­est out­cast from the fold,
But when at last, con­vinced of sin,
The ene­my said, I will ov­er­take,
So hap­py, so no­ble, so good;
The sin­ner must be born again,
Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
With me be­hind the cur­tain, and the crowd

Sank

For the af­fright­ed storm-fiend fled.
The sul­len bil­lows ceased to leap,
’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold,
Bid Thou the fear­ful heart re­joice,
And the rain­bow’s wa­tery span
He thought to rise no more;
With him his child­ren fell;
In the rest of seeing Thee;
To Je­ho­vah then they cried
That hor­ri­ble pit where I lay,
Lo! the an­gel­ic bands
Earth’s re­ject­ed were elect­ed,
To raise us to His throne;
But He bade me look up,
My hope awoke, when me­mo­ry spoke
In surg­ing tide, when part­ed wa­tery walls
Confirmed by His pow­er, you stood.
But while I thus in ang­uish lay,
Now my heart its love and praises render,
Under that stern voice cut­ting like a goad,
