Matthew 14:24: Jesus, the church redeem'd by Thee
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Jesus, the church redeem'd by Thee,
A ship in a tempestuous sea,
Encompass'd with the world it lies.
While endless storms and troubles rise:
We tremble, by the billows toss'd.
And fear to be for ever lost.
Yet, when in faith the storm we bear.
The persecuting wind is fair,
When most it fills our hearts with dread.
It brings the Saviour to our aid.
It drives us swifter to His breast,
Our haven of eternal rest.
