Tempest Tossed and Sore Afflicted

Come to me, all ye that labour; come, and I will give ye rest.

Fear no more, O doubting hearted; weep no more, O weeping eye!

Lo, the voice of your redeemer; lo, the songful morning near.

Here one hour you toil³ and combat, sin and suffer, bleed and die;

In my father’s quiet mansion⁴ soon to lay your burden by.

Lo, the feet of your deliverer; lo, the hour of freedom here.
