Fifrce and wild the storm is raging Round a helpless bark ; On to doom 'tis swiftly driving, O'er the waters dark !
Joy ! . . behold the Sa - viour ! . 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 ! " . .
2. Weary, helpless, hopeless seamen, Fainting on the deck, With what joy they hail their saviour, As he hails the wreck !
3. On a wild and stormy ocean, Sinking 'neath the wave, Souls that perish, heed the message ! â Christ has come to save !
4. Daring death thy soul to rescue, He in love has come ;
Leave the wreck ! and in Him trusting, Thou shalt reach thy home !
