Representative Text

1 O doubting soul, see Jesus!
He’s standing on the shore;
His voice can still the tempest,
And hush the billows’ roar.
His hand will bear thee o’er the waves,
For Jesus loves and Jesus saves!

Refrain:
His hand will bear thee o’er the waves,
For Jesus loves and Jesus saves!

2 O weeping one, see Jesus!
He’s calling thee today;
He’ll give thee songs for sighing,
And wipe thy tears away.
When waves of sorrow o’er thee roll
He’ll whisper peace unto thy soul. [Refrain]

3 O sinful soul, see Jesus!
He waits to set thee free;
‘Tis He alone can pardon,
he died to ransom thee;
When passion’s raging billows roar
He’ll bring thee safely to the shore. [Refrain]
