Hymn Context Compare
Fierce is the tem­pest, loud is its roar,
Oars la­bored hea­vi­ly, foam glim­mered white.
Aroused by the shriek of des­pair from Thy pil­low,
There ga­ther the soul’s dai­ly bread.
His won­ders in the world abroad,
There stands a Rock amid the waves,
Where, tossed ’mid dark and ang­ry waves,
Both in dark­ness and light,
Both in dark­ness and light,
They’re plant­ed on fair Heav­en’s heights,
To sing that hymn once more;

ma­rin­er

See! what is put­ting the dark­ness to flight?
Then said the God of God, Peace: it is I.
Who cries in his dan­ger—Help, Lord, or we per­ish!
Will guide him across the dark wave;
The unk­nown re­gions of the seas.
When surg­es roll He sweet­ly saves:
Upon that fierce and ang­ry main
By his com­pass must steer,
By his com­pass must steer,
Steer well! the har­bor just ahead
Who gets a glimpse of shore;
