1. Floods swell around me, angry, appalling!
2. Faith is o'er-clouded, courage is failing,
Billows go o'er me, deep to deep calling!
Hope dies within me, doubts are prevailing,
Helpless, dejected, o'er-whelmed, broken-hearted O
Conscience upbraids me, and Satan accuses, While
God of my life, is thy mercy departed?
Jesus the tokens of favor refuses.

3. Oh, by thy fasting and bitter temptation!
Oh, by thy passion, the price of salvation!
Mighty Redeemer, of help the sole giver,
Now hasten, oh hasten, my soul to deliver!

4. Glory to God! he regardeth my crying;
Life hath he sent to the soul sick and dying;
Hope once again in my bosom is springing;
All praise to Jehovah, with gladness and singing!
