When Christ embarked in the boat of his church to cross the sea of the world...
the waves of kings were foaming the billows of the mighty seethed the rage of subjects resounded nations swirled like whirlpools sharp rocks of infidelity came into view
groans resounded from Christian shores
the shipwreck of the fallen aways were drifting about
and there was one crisis
one shipwreck of all the world
at present Christ is asleep in us
let us awaken him by a full groan from out hearts by our voice of faith
At length his mere command controlled the sea so the disciples came to the Lord and woke him saying Lord save us we are perishing but he said to them why are you fearful O you of little faith
