Matthew 14:25: In the fourth watch of the night fesus went, &c

Midst furious winds and raging seas
Will Jesus leave us in distress?
He sees us seemingly forsook
To Him through thickest darkness look,
And by the favour of this night
He comes, and brings the saving light.

Left in the persecutor's power,
With Satan ready to devour.
Left at our last extremity
When death in all its forms we see,
When most the yawning gulf we fear,
Our faith perceives salvation near.

Behold Him walking on the wave,
Who comes our sinking souls to save!
When many a dreary hour is pass'd.
The' Omnipotent appears at last.
The Lord of heaven and earth, and sea.
My Saviour comes to rescue me.
