Toss’d with rough winds, and faint with fear

1.

Toss’d with rough winds, and faint with fear

Above the tempest, soft and clear

What still small accents greet mine ear?

’Tis I, be not afraid

2.

Tis I, who washed thy spirit white

Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight

Tis I, thy Lord, thy life, thy light

’Tis I, be not afraid

3.

These raging winds, this surging sea

Have spent their deadly force on Me

They bear no breathe of wrath to thee

’Tis I, be not afraid

4.

This bitter cup, I drank it first

To thee it is no draught accurst

The hand that gives it thee is pierced

’Tis I, be not afraid

5.

Mine eyes are watching by thy bed

Mine arms are underneath thy head

My blessing is around thee shed

’Tis I, be not afraid

6.

When on the other side thy feet

Shall rest, mid thousand welcomes sweet

One well-know Voice thy heart shall greet

’Tis I, be not afraid
