Aeolian Harp 6
Lyrics: Watts / Ryea / Houston
Tune: Seth Houston
Meter: L.M. (8.8.8.8.)
The billows swell, the winds are high,
Clouds overcast the wintry sky;
Out of the depths to Thee I call;
My fears are great, my strength is small.
A silent rest o'ertakes the land,
Long fields roll and mountains stand
Silent below all nature sleeps
To gather strength for springtime leaps.
A full moon shines on snow so bright,
Stars sparkle in the darkest night.
Crystal and clear the ice breaks free,
O'er flowing streams float towards the sea.
