V. “Lord! Thou didst arise and say” | | By Henry Hart Milman (1791–1868) |
| | | LORD! Thou didst arise and say | |
| To the troubled waters “Peace,” | |
| And the tempest died away; | |
| Down they sank, the foaming seas; | |
| And a calm and heaving sleep, | 5 |
| Spread o’er all the glassy deep; | |
| All the azure lake serene | |
| Like another heaven was seen. | |
| |
| Lord! Thy gracious word repeat | |
| To the billows of the proud; | 10 |
| Quell the Tyrant’s martial heat, | |
| Quell the fierce and changing crowd; | |
| Then the Earth shall find repose | |
| From its restless strife and woes; | |
| And an imaged Heaven appear | 15 |
| On our world of darkness here. | | | | |
