The Storm Is Passing Over




"Do not let your hearts be troubled.  You believe in and adhere to
and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in
and rely also on Me."
John 14:1




O Courage, my soul,

And let us journey on,

For tho' the night is dark,

It won't be very long.


Jesus Walks On Water
(1863)
Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky
(1817-1900)
Russian artist



O thanks be to God,

The morning light appears,

And the storm is passing over,

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The storm is passing over!

Hallelujah!


O billows rolling high,

And thunder shakes the ground,

The lightnings flash,

And tempest all around,

But Jesus walks the sea

And calms the angry waves,

And the storm is passing over,

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The storm is passing over!

Hallelujah!

The stars have disappeared,

And distant lights are dim,

My soul is filled with fears,

The seas are breaking in.

I heard the Master cry,

"Be not afraid, 'tis I,"

And the storm is passing over,

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The storm is passing over!

Hallelujah!

Now soon we shall reach

The distant shining shore,

Then free from all the storms,

We'll rest forevermore.

And safe within the veil,

We'll furl the riven sail,

And the storm will all be over,

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The storm is passing over!

Hallelujah!
