3.Jesus is the Name full well
Bedreaded and abhorr'd in hell;
But Jesus is the theme and boast
Of Christian men and Angel host.
So sing we and say, sing and say,
'All glory to Thy Name to-day!'

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany

XXXVI. WHEN CHRIST HAD (AS RECOUNTED)

1.When Christ had (as recounted
In Matthew chapter eight)
With His disciples mounted
The ship, 'twas waxing late:
Then rose the wind: the billow
Around the boat gan leap;
But He lay on a pillow
Aboard, abaft, asleep.

2.'Lord, save us; else we perish,'
His fellow shipmen spake:
'No longer hope we cherish:
Lord, from Thy slumber wake!'
Said He, 'Why are ye fearful,
O ye of little faith?
Take heart of grace! Be cheerful!'
Then He arose, and saith,

3.'Be tranquil, O thou breaker!
Thou whirlwind, be at rest!'
The breezes knew their Maker:

The waves, too, lower'd their crest.
