| 1 | He bids us come; His voice we know, | Matthew 14:22-23,29; John 10:4; Matthew 11:28; Mark 1:17 |
| And boldly on the waters go |
| To Him, our God and Lord; |
| We walk on life's tempestuous sea, |
| For He who died to set us free |
| Hath called us with His word. |
|
| 2 | Secure, on boisterous waves we tread, | Isaiah 45:22 |
| Nor all the billows round us dread, |
| While on the Lord we look; |
| The tempter drives his vortex round, |
| We pass it as on solid ground; |
| The wave is firm as rock. |
|
| 3 | But if from Him we turn the eye, | Isaiah 35:4; Acts 27:23-24 |
| We see the raging floods run high, |
| Our hearts are full of fear; |
| Our foes so strong, our flesh so frail, |
| Reason and unbelief prevail, |
| Forgetting He is near. |
|
| 4 | Lord! we our unbelief confess, | Mark 9:24; Luke 17:5; Psalm 25:15; Psalm 112:7; Deuteronomy 26:8; Psalm 107:23-30 |
| Do Thou our little faith increase, |
| That we may fail no more, |
| But fix on Thee a steady eye, |
| And on Thine outstretched arm rely, |
| Till all the storm is o'er. |
