John Newton - Paul`s Voyage
Work rating: Low

If Paul in Caesar`s court must stand,
He need not fear the sea;
Secured from harm, on every hand,
By the divine decree. 

Although the ship, in which he sailed,
By dreadful storms was tossed;
The promise over all prevailed,
And not a life was lost. 

Jesus! the God whom Paul adored,
Who saves in time of need;
Was then confessed, by all on board,
A present help indeed! 

Though neither sun nor stars were seen
Paul knew the Lord was near;
And faith preserved his soul serene,
When others shook for fear. 

Believers thus are tossed about
On life`s tempestuous main;
But grace assures, beyond a doubt,
They shall their port attain. 

They must, they shall appear one day,
Before their Saviour`s throne;
The storms they meet with by the way,
But make his power known. 

Their passage lies across the brink
Of many a threat`ning wave;
The world expects to see them sink,
But Jesus lives to save. 

Lord, though we are but feeble worms,
Yet since thy word is past;
We`ll venture through a thousand storms,
To see thy face at last.
