I: If Paul in Cesar's court must stand, / He need not fear the sea, / Secured from harm on every hand
II: Although the ship in which he sail'd / The promise over all prevailed, / And not a life was lost.
III: Jesus! the God whom Paul adored, / Who saves in time of need; / Was then confess'd by all on board, / A present help indeed!
IV: Though neither sun nor stars were seen, / Paul knew the Lord was near; / And faith preserved his soul serene, / When others shook for fear.
V: Believers thus are toss'd about, / On life's tempestuous main; / But grace assures beyond a doubt, / They shall their port attain.
VI: They must, they shall appear one day / Before their Saviour's throne; / The storms they meet with by the way / But make his power known.
VII: Their passage lies across the brink / Of many a threat'ning wave; / The world expects to see them sink, / But Jesus lives to save.
VIII: Lord, though we are but feeble worms, / Yet since thy word is past, / We'll venture through a thousand storms, / To see thy face at last.
