 Jesus is the Name full well

Bedreaded and abhorr'd in hell;

But Jesus is the theme and boast

Of Christian men and Angel host.

So sing we and say, sing and say,

'All glory to Thy Name to-day!'

Christ had (as recounted

In Matthew chapter eight)

With His disciples mounted

The ship, 'twas waxing late:

Then rose the wind: the billow

Around the boat gan leap;

But He lay on a pillow

Aboard, abaft, asleep.

'Lord, save us; else we perish,'

His fellow shipmen spake:

'No longer hope we cherish:

Lord, from Thy slumber wake!'

Said He, 'Why are ye fearful,

O ye of little faith?

Take heart of grace! Be cheerful!'

Then He arose, and saith,

'Be tranquil, O thou breaker!

Thou whirlwind, be at rest!'

The breezes knew their Maker:

The waves, too, lower'd their crest.
