- Night And A Storm, And Hearts With Sore Affright,
Night and a storm, and hearts with sore affright,
tr., John Brownlie
10.10
I
Night and a storm, and hearts with sore affright,
Quail in their fears before the tempest's might.
II
Blindly the waves with crested summits roll;
The thunders crash, and terrify the soul.
III
Calmly he sleeps; O Christ, art Thou not Lord?
Speak to the winds, and let them hear Thy word.
IV
Thou hast a power to quell the surging sea,
The waters know Thy voice at Galilee.
V
Wake from Thy sleep! How can the Master sleep,
While danger threatens from the frenzied deep?
VI
Tempest and strife, and angry waves are still;
The waters hear Thy voice, and do Thy will.
VII
Lord of our life, wake to our help we pray,
And still the storms that compass our life's way.
