Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'A little ship' - D. Thrupp kids' hymn
Izziss it?????????
A little ship was on the sea, It was a pretty sight; It sailed along so pleasantly, And all was calm and bright. The sun was sinking in the west; The shore was near at hand, And those on board with hearts at rest, Thought soon to reach the land.
When lo! a storm began to rise; The wind grew loud and strong; It blew the clouds across the skies; It blew the waves along. And all but One were sore afraid Of sinking in the deep; His head was on a pillow laid, And He was fast asleep.
"Master, we perish! Master, save!" They cried; their master heard: He rose, rebuked the wind and wave, And stilled them with a word. He to the storm said, "Peace, be still!" The raging billows cease; The mighty winds obey His will, And all are hushed in peace.
They greatly wondered -- so may we, And ask as well as they, Who could this glorious Person be, Whom winds and seas obey? O well we know it was the Lord, The Saviour and the Friend, Whose care of those who trust His word Will never, never end.
