1 Is the darkness all about thee?
Are the billows high?
Art thou weary, toiling, rowing,
And no haven nigh?
Refrain:
Jesus comes upon the waters
That are dashing high;
Hear Him speak in tones assuring,
Do not fear, ’tis I.
2 Are the winds now fierce, contrary,
Testing all thy might?
Does it seem that heart must fail thee
In the dreary night? [Refrain]
3 Is there none to bring thee succor
In this hour of test?
Yes, the loving Master sees thee
Toiling at thy best! [Refrain]
4 Yesterday thy hands were busied,
Feeding hungry souls;
Now, constrained, they toil in rowing,
Where the mad sea rolls. [Refrain]
5 Lose not heart, O dear disciple,
If the tempest roar,
But consider how He blest thee
Just the day before. [Refrain]
6 Gladly render any service,
He may choose for thee;
Caring not what pain or pleasure
There may in it be. [Refrain]
