Classic Poem

Jesu, still the storm!
Only thou hast power,
In this troubled hour,
To bid our tremblings cease,
And give our spirits peace.
Jesu, still the storm!

Speak the potent word,
“Peace, be still!” and then
Calm returns again;
Each billow hides its crest,
And lays itself to rest.
Speak the potent word!

Jesu, love us still!
Oh, love on, love on,
As thou hast ever done;
Oh love us to the end,
Our one unchanging friend.
Jesu, love us still!

Jesu, bless us still!
Bless us on and on,
Till our heaven be won;
Oh bless us evermore,
On thine own blessed shore.
Jesu, bless us still!
