Thy way is on the deep, O Lord! E'en there we'll go with Thee; We'll meet the tempest at Thy word, And walk upon the sea. Poor tremblers at His rougher wind, Why do we doubt Him so? Who gives the storms a path will find The way our feet shall go. A moment may His hand seem lost, Drear moment of delay;— We cry, “Lord, help the tempest-tost!” And safe we're borne away. O happy soul, of faith divine! Thy victory how sure! The love that kindles joy is thine, The patience to endure.
