Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- The King of Glory standeth beside the heart of sin;
- His mighty voice commandeth the raging waves within;
- The floods of deepest anguish roll backward at His will,
- As o’er the storm ariseth His mandate, “Peace, be still.”
- 2.
- At times, with sudden glory, He speaks, and all is done;
- Without one stroke of battle the victory is won,
- While we, with joy beholding, can scarce believe it true
- That e’en our kingly Jesus can form such hearts anew.
- 3.
- O Christ, Thy love is mighty; long suffering is Thy grace;
- And glorious is the splendor that beameth from Thy face.
- Our hearts upleap in gladness when we behold that love,
- As we go singing onward, to dwell with Thee above.
Lyrics: Charitie L. Bancroft, in Lyra Britannica, 1867.
