When Stormy Winds Against Us Break

Thinking of family and friends who are struggling with illness, job loss, or death of a loved one. This poem came to mind:

When Stormy Winds

When stormy winds against us break,

Stablish and reinforce our will;

O hear us for Thine own Name’s sake,

Hold us in strength, and hold us still.

Still as the faithful mountains stand

Through the long silent years of stress,

So would we wait at Thy right hand,

In quietness and steadfastness.

But not of us this strength, O Lord,

And not of us this constancy;

Our trust is Thine eternal word,

Thy Presence our security.
