Toss'd with Rough Winds, and Faint with Fear
"Be of good cheer; it is I; be not Afraid." - Matt 14:27
VERSE 1
Toss'd with rough winds, and faint with fear,
Above the tempest, soft and clear,
What still small accents greet mine ear?
'Tis I, be not afraid.
VERSE 2
'Tis I, who washed thy spirit white
'Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight;
'Tis I, thy Lord, the life, they light:
'Tis I, be not afraid.
VERSE 3
There raging winds, this surging sea,
Have spent their deadly force on Me;
They bear no breath of wrath to thee;
'Tis I, be not afraid
VERSE 4
This better cup, I drink it first;
To thee it is no drought accurst,
The hand that gives it thee is pierced:
'Tis I, be not afraid.
VERSE 5
Mine eyes are watching by thy bed,
Mine arms are underneath thy head,
My blessing is around thee shed;
'Tis I, be not afraid.
VERSE 6
When on the other side thy feet
Shall rest, mid thousand welcomes; sweet,
One well-known Voice thy heart shall greet,
'Tis I, be not afraid.
