1194. Fierce and wild the storm is raging

1 Fierce and wild the storm is raging
Round a helpless bark,
On to doom 'tis swiftly driving
O'er the waters dark!

Chorus:
Joy, behold the Saviour;
Joy, the message hear;
"I'll stand by until the morning;
I've come to save you, do not fear;"
Yes, I'll stand by until the morning;
I've come to save you; do not fear, do not fear.

2 Weary, helpless, hopeless seamen,
Fainting on the deck,
With what joy they hail their Saviour,
As he hails the wreck! [Chorus]

3 On a wild and stormy ocean,
Sinking neath the wave,
Souls that perish heed the message,
Christ has come to save! [Chorus]

4 Daring death thy soul to rescue,
He in love has come;
Leave the wreck, and in him trusting,
Thou shalt reach thy home! [Chorus]
