Christ Is Standing on the Shore

Are you wea­ry with your sor­row­ing?

Scarcely strength to lift an oar?

Christ with pi­ty sees your toil­ing:

He is stand­ing on the shore.

Are you wea­ry with your row­ing?

Are you wea­ry at the oar?

Lift your eyes and be en­cour­aged:

Christ is stand­ing on the shore.

Do the clouds seem dark with sha­dows

That you fain would see no more?

Have you lost that gleam­ing ha­lo

From the Christ up­on the shore?

Are the wa­ters dash­ing hard­er

’Gainst your boat than e’er be­fore?

Lift your eyes above the bil­lows:

Christ still stands up­on the shore.

Oh

re­mem­ber that in full­ness

Christ can per­fect peace re­store;

In what­ev­er sea of trou­ble

Still He stand­eth on the shore.
