When the trying hour is past

Verse 1
When the trying hour is past,
Sav’d by miracle at last,
Mindful of the death so near,
Should we not rejoice with fear?

Verse 2
Should we not the dread retain,
Talking of the wondrous Man,
Mighty both in deed and word,
Sovereign, universal Lord?

Verse 3
Him whom wind and sea obeys,
Him Omnipotent in grace,
Him to worship we agree
God from all eternity.
