Saviour oh, my bark is drifting,
Out upon an open sea.
All around the storm is raging,
Help me put my trust in Thee.
Bid me walk upon the water
Let me hear thy voice so sweet:
Make me know that thou art Jesus,
Calm the waves beneath my feet.
Lead me upward to the mountain,
On the rock, O let me stand
Lead me through the surging river,
Safely TO the promised land.
Now that l have seen Thee Jesus,
And have heard Thy voice Divine;
L can rest upon Thy promise,
And / know Thou art mine.
