¶Lyrics / Text

1 Sweet and low, sweet and low, Jesus, my Lord, is calling; Softly flow, sweet and low, Gently his accents falling; Calming the wild surging waters of strife, Breathing a deep, holy rest in my life. Refrain: Harken, the Master speaketh; “Storms obey my will, Love thy heart shall fill; Peace, be still!” 2 Strong and true, strong and true, Safe in his bosom holding, Jesus keeps, never sleeps, Sweetly my soul enfolding; Tenderly shielding when fierce tempests roar, Bearing me calmly and safely to shore. [Refrain] 3 Swift as light, swift as light, Angels are downward sweeping; Cloth’d in white, pure and bright, Love’s faithful vigils keeping; Guarding my path with the staff and the rod, Feeding my soul on the word of my God. [Refrain] 4 Day by day, day by day, Sweetly I learn the story, Mercy free, Christ in me, This is the hope of glory; Love is perfected, my fears backward roll, Peace like a river flows over my soul. [Refrain]
