The Goodness Of His God.
When winds and seas do rageAnd threaten to undo me,Thou dost, their wrath assuageIf I but call unto Thee.A mighty storm last nightDid seek my soul to swallow,But by the peep of lightA gentle calm did follow.What need I then despair,Though ills stand round about me;Since mischiefs neither dareTo bark or bite without Thee?
