| Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed. (Job 38:11) |
| He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment. (Prov. 8:29) |
| If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psa. 124:2,4,8) |
When ocean’s bed was measured out,
And spread the hoary deep,
Thou gavest the flood a firm decree
In its own bounds to keep. |
How can we sink with such a prop
As the eternal God,
Who bears the earth’s huge pillars up
And spread the heavens abroad? |
