Matthew 14: Cheer'd by His word and Spirit's light

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Cheer'd by His word and Spirit's light.
We stand recover'd of our fright.
We know Him present by His word.
And glad cry out. It is the Lord,
Whose Spirit all His church inspires.
And gives the faith which He requires.

My Saviour if indeed Thou art.
Speak, Jesus, to this troubled heart,
Tell me, 'Tis I, that died for thee;
Then the rough wind and boisterous sea,
As servants of Thy gracious power,
Shall bear me to the' eternal shore.
