14462. Christ Is Standing On The Shore

1 Are you weary with your sorrowing?
Scarcely strength to lift an oar?
Christ with pity sees your toiling:
He is standing on the shore.

Refrain:
Are you weary with your rowing?
Are you weary at the oar?
Lift your eyes and be encouraged:
Christ is standing on the shore.

2 Do the clouds seem dark with shadows,
That you fain would see no more?
Have you lost that gleaming halo
From the Christ upon the shore? [Refrain]

3 Are the waters dashing harder
’Gainst your boat than e’er before?
Lift your eyes above the billows:
Christ still stands upon the shore. [Refrain]

4 Oh, remember that in fullness
Christ can perfect peace restore;
In whatever sea of trouble,
Still He standeth on the shore. [Refrain]
