Wondrous Love ‎#136

136. When Billows Swell

1 When billows swell and winds are high,
And clouds o’ercast the sky,
From out the depths to thee I’ll call,
And make thy name my all,
And make thy name my all,
And make thy name my all;
From out the depths to thee I’ll call,
And make thy name my all.

2 Then, Lord, the Pilot’s part perform,
And guide me through the storm;
Defend me from each threat’ning ill
By saying, “Peace, be still,”
By saying, “Peace, be still,”
By saying, “Peace, be still;”
Defend me from each threat’ning ill
By saying, “Peace, be still.”

3 Amidst the roaring of the sea,
My soul shall trust in thee;
Thy constant love, thy faithful care
Shall save me from despair,
Shall save me from despair,
Shall save me from despair;
Thy constant love, thy faithful care
Shall save me from despair.
