Up with thy hands to Jesus
Oh
guilty tempest-tossed;
Up with thy hands to Jesus
Or
sinner
thou art lost.
The waves are wildly dashing
Thy boat is light and frail
The lightnings sharp are flashing
And fiercely sweeps the gale.
Then up with thy hands to Jesus
Oh guilty tempest-tossed
Up with thy hands to Jesus
Or
sinner
thou art lost.
Up with thy hands to Jesus
He walks upon the sea;
Up with thy hands to Jesus
He stoopeth now for thee.
Say not thy hands are feeble
Thy fingers can not cling;
His mighty grasp shall hold thee
And sure salvation bring.
Up with thy hands to Jesus
He hears thy piteous cry;
Up with thy hands to Jesus
No other help is nigh.
Even now thy bark is sinking
The billows o’er thee roll
Up with thy hands to Jesus
Oh
sinner
save thy soul.
Up with thy hands to Jesus
He ruleth wind and wave;
Up with thy hands to Jesus
His love now yearns to save.
Oh
if thou wilt but trust Him
His help He’ll quickly give;
Haste
then
no longer doubting
Up with thy hands
and live.
