O Thou whose Very Word is Power

Author: Thomas Curtis Clark Hymnal: Hymns for Today #178 (1920) First Line: O Thou, whose very word is power Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose very word is pow’r, Great Master of the mighty sea; Grip Thou my will within Thine own, And rule Thou me. 2 As Thou didst calm the winds and waves That wrestled wild on Galilee; Rebuke the passions that would slay, And calm Thou me. 3 The arm of man availeth not To snatch me from th’engulfing sea; Stretch forth Thy strong and willing hand, And save Thou me.
