Hymn
Not a Wave Shall Flow Over Thee
Words: Oatman, Johnson, Jr., 1856-1922 (1900)
Tho’ thy path may lead thro’ the world’s great deep, Tho’ the billows roll o’er the sea, Yet thy God has promised his child to keep, Not a wave shall flow over thee.
Chorus
Not a wave shall flow over thee, Not a wave shall flow over thee, Tho’ the billows roll, God protects thy soul, Not a wave shall flow over thee.
Tho’ affliction sore to thy soul may come, Let thy faith like a compass be, For, although the winds make the sea to foam, Not a wave shall flow over thee. [Chorus]
Do not fear at last, when upon the strand Thou the river of death shall see, When with Christ you cross to the heav’nly land, Not a wave shall flow over thee. [Chorus]
