Author: Ada Blenkhorn Hymnal: Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 #81 (1909) First Line: Above the tempest of the seas Lyrics: 1 Above the tempest of the seas, A voice of sweet command I hear; The waves obey the word of peace,— It is my Lord to me so dear. Refrain: It is my Lord, It is my Lord, His tender, loving voice I hear, It is my Lord, It is my Lord, To me so dear, to me so dear. 2 When friends forsake, and foes assail, I feel the sacred presence near, Of One, who cannot, will not fail,— It is my Lord to me so dear. [Refrain] 3 When bowed by some great sorrow deep, A tender hand wipes ev’ry tear, And faithful watch with me doth keep,— It is my Lord to me so dear. [Refrain] 4 When darkest clouds have passed away, The heavens shine serene and clear, And songs of gladness fill the day,— It is my Lord to me so dear. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Above the tempest of the seas]
