Gospel Waves

Representative Text

1 Up from the shore of far Galilee
Where the storm raged so dark and wild,
Gosppel waves roll a message to me
Fear not, 'tis I, O, wavering child.

Refrain:
Gospel waves roll in pow'r and might
Bear o'er the earth the message of light.
Gospel waves roll on Calv'ry's stream!
O my soul The Lord will redeem.

2 Out of Gethsem'na's garden of woe
Where the Lord wept in pain and grief,
gospel waves roll to all here below
Bearing sweet comfort, bringing relief. [Refrain]

3 From the dread scene on Calvary's height
When Jesus died the world to save,
Gospel waves roll in splendor and might
Roll on in pow'r o'er death and the grave. [Refrain]
