1 Jehovah built the earth and skies,
What cannot He with ease perform?
To Him my anxious spirit flies,
To find a refuge in the storm.

2 He formed my body from the dust,
Will raise it from the dust again;
In Him I firmly place my trust,
Nor will He let me trust in vain.

3 He gave His Son, His only Son,
To bear my sins, to bleed and die;
And will He now to souls undone,
All other needful good deny?

4 When sorrows overwhelm my soul,
I call upon His holy name;
And soon the billows cease to roll,
Or He supports my feeble frame.
