The Sea of Galilee
by William B. Tappan
O Jesus! once on Galilee
Thy voice of power was heard,
When madly that dark heaving sea
Through all its depths was stirred.
The forky lightnings Thee revealed,
Calm, 'mid the storm's increase,
And far above where thunders pealed
Was heard the whisper, "Peace!"
How drooped at once that foaming sheet
Of waters, vexed and wild!
Each wave came falling at Thy feet,
Just like an humbled child.
So rages my tumultuous breast,
So chafes my maniac will;
Speak! and these troubled seas shall rest:
Speak; and the storm is still.
