Mark 4:39: O Jesus awake and be near

O Jesus awake and be near,
A sinner in mercy to save;
I perish unless Thou appear.
And rescue my soul from the wave:

Assail'd from without and within.
The stomi I no longer can bear,
But sink in an ocean of sin.
But plunge in a gulf of despair.

Arise in the power of Thy love
My turbulent passions to bind.
Temptation and sin to reprove,
And still the tempestuous wind;
The storm in a moment allay,
Pronounce the omnipotent word.
And ocean at once shall obey.
And nature acknowledge her Lord.
I Peace of the tempestuous soul.
Rise and all our fears control,
Calmer of the troubled breast,
Bring Thy tempted people rest:

In a world of evil toss'd,
Wilt Thou let Thy church be lost?
Can we perish in the deep,
Sink with Jesus in the ship?

Waking at our plaintive cry,
Show our sure salvation nigh.
By the brightness of Thy face
Sin, the world, and Satan chase.

Nothing can withstand Thy will,
Speak and bid the storm be still.
Then the wind shall cease to roar,
Then the sea shall work no more.

Lord, if Thou the tempest chide,
Sin shall suddenly subside,
Man to Thy command submit,
Satan fall beneath our feet.

Then to perfect peace restored,
Calm'd by Thy almighty word
All our troubles we outfly,
Reach our haven in the sky.
