It Is I (Vogel)

When the waves in ter­ror rolled

All in help­less graves t’en­fold

Then the Lord of Life drew nigh

Saying calm­ly

It is I;

It is I

be not afraid

I whose might cre­ation made.

When the world in hat­red strong

Rages on thee oft and long

Let the Lord of Life draw nigh

Speaking calm­ly

It is I;

It is I

be not afraid

I who ren­der time­ly aid.

When our na­tures

prone to sin

Roll in pass­ions fierce with­in

Lord of Life

do Thou draw nigh

Speak the sol­ace—It is I;

It is I

be not afraid

I who help you when dis­mayed.
