| 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? |
