Acts: The waves of the sea When highest they rise

The waves of the sea When highest they rise,
Are govern'cl by Thee Our Lord in the skies;
Thy succour imploring Thy presence we find
To silence the roaring And tie up the wind.

The fierceness of men Who threaten so loud
Thy word can restrain And bridle the crowd,
And when it represses Their madness of will
The hurricane ceases, The tumult is still.

Whoe'er in Thy hand The instrument be,
Thine only command And action we see;
So nigh to deliver Acknowledge Thy power,
Thy mercy for ever And ever adore.
