274 FOREIGN ANGLING LITERATURE 



Precious words did Jesus speak, 

 Peter, from thy boat when meek 



Listened hushed th' attentive throng, 

 By thy broken nets were caught 

 Fish unnumbered, Faith was taught 

 Where alone doth power belong. 



Fearless will our boatie be 

 Jesus hath walked the troubled sea. 



Sleeping in thy boat he lay 

 Mind'st thou of that stormy day 



When loud winds whistled shrill. 

 Wakened by thy fears, the Lord 

 Spake and instant at his word 

 The angry waves grew still. 



Fearless will our boatie be 

 Jesus hath walked the troubled sea. 



So prosperous goes the boat along, 

 Where He is whom the seas obey 



No contrary winds can harm. 

 Keck we not of wind or wave, 

 He saves us who did Peter save- 

 We trust the Saviour's arm. 



Fearless will our boatie be * 

 Jesus hath walked the troubled sea. 



Jesus friend of fishermen 

 Our cockle-shell awaits Thee then, 



Deign, Lord, to enter in. 

 Take the helm direct our way 

 Bless our toil give us each day 

 Food for our homes to win. 



Captain of our boat shall be 

 Jesus who walked the troubled sea.
