John 6:21: Hurricanes the ship defies
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Hurricanes the ship defies,
If Thou art in the ship,
Swiftly toward the haven flies,
And bounds along the deep!
Saviour, in Thy church appear.
Give all our hearts Thy voice to know,
Then redeem'd from sin and fear
We to perfection go.
Borne upon the wings of love,
We in Thy Spirit's might
Swiftly to our centre move
And urge our rapid flight:
Life is in a moment o'er.
While all Thy saints of Thee possess'd
Reach with shouts the happy shore,
And on Thy bosom rest.
