1 There shineth a gleam of safety
Out over life’s surging wave;
There soundeth a voice most tender,
Of One who hath come to save.

Refrain:
O, Thou who didst calm the tempest,
And walk on the stormy wave,
We’re trusting in Thee for guidance,
We know Thou hast come to save.

2 What matters the raging tempest?
The Master of storms is near!
What matters the cloud of sorrow?
The Comforting Christ is here! [Refrain]

3 He cometh to save the lost one,
He cometh to cheer the soul;
He knoweth the way to heaven,
O give Him entire control. [Refrain]
