By Hymns. V. Lord! Thou didst arise and sayHenry Hart Milman (17911868)
L
To the troubled waters “Peace,”
And the tempest died away;
Down they sank, the foaming seas;
And a calm and heaving sleep,
Spread o’er all the glassy deep;
All the azure lake serene
Like another heaven was seen.
To the billows of the proud;
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
On our world of darkness here.
