William Cowper - Olney Hymn 37: Temptation
Work rating: Low

The billows swell, the winds are high, 
Clouds overcast my wintry sky; 
Out of the depths to Thee I call, — 
My fears are great, my strength is small. 

O Lord, the pilot`s part perform, 
And guard and guide me through the storm; 
Defend me from each threatening ill, 
Control the waves, — say, "Peace! be still." 

Amidst the roaring of the sea 
My soul still hangs her hope on Thee; 
Thy constant love, thy faithful care, 
Is all that saves me from despair. 

Dangers of every shape and name 
Attend the followers of the Lamb, 
Who leave the world`s deceitful shore, 
And leave it to return no more. 

Though tempest-toss`d and half a wreck, 
My Saviour through the floods I seek; 
Let neither winds nor stormy main 
Force back my shatter`d bark again.
