Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Helper in Sacred Song First Line: Suff'rer, tossed in mental anguish Refrain First Line: Jesus walks the waves, my brother Lyrics: 1 Suff’rer, tossed in mental anguish, Buffeted on life’s’ dark sea, Oh, do not despairing languish, Jesus walks the waves to thee; Toil in rowing thro’ the midnight, Ply thy stroke with firmer hand, Not the billows’ dread commotion Can his word of peace withstand. Refrain: Jesus walks the waves, my brother, Ever o’er life’s stormy sea; Haste to his almighty shelter, Jesus walks the waves to thee. 2 Thro’ the darkness, thick with terror, Let not fear distress thee sore, What though evil spirits crowd thee, Christ is nearer evermore; Still afraid and wonder stricken, Do thine eyes to fear incline? Nay, what image wouldst thou liken To that human form divine? [Refrain] 3 Seems it strange that stormy billows At his presence should subside? Stranger still that at his bidding Loaves and fishes multiplied? Nay, for shame, poor trembling weakness, He is nearer than thy fears; Stronger than thy doubts his meekness, Only thy distress he hears.
