Augustus Montague Toplady (Огастус Монтегю Топледи)

* * *

If, on a quiet sea, toward heaven we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We’ll own the favoring gale,
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We’ll own the favoring gale.

But should the surges rise, and rest delay to come,
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home,
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.

Soon shall our doubts and fears all yield to Thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul,
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.

Teach us, in every state, to make Thy will our own;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone,
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone.

1. Holy Ghost! Dispel Our Sadness
2. Desiring to Be Given up to God
3. Fountain of Never Ceasing Grace
4. Grace, 'Tis a Charming Sound
5. Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve
