Hymn 135 - Breast the Wave, Christian

Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest,

Watch where the nightshade, lingers the longest;

Onward and onward still be thy endeavor;

There is a rest for thee, peaceful, forever.

Stand the storm, Christian, Jesus is o’er thee;

Fear not the tempest, heav’n is before thee;

Go where thy duty calls, fear may assail thee;

God is thy strength and shield; He will not fail thee.

Seek the light, Christian, heav’nward t’will take thee.

Tho’ clouds may gather, t’will not forsake thee;

Walk where its shining leads, with courage steady,

For to supply thy needs His strength is ready.
