87. If, On a Quiet Sea

1 If, on a quiet sea,
Tow'rd heav'n we calmly sail,
With grateful heart, O God, to thee
We'll own the fav'ring gale.

2 But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm,
Which drives me nearer home.

3 Soon shall the doubts and fears
All yield to thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.
