The Goodness Of His God.

By Robert Herrick

When winds and seas do rage And threaten to undo me, Thou dost, their wrath assuage If I but call unto Thee. A mighty storm last night Did seek my soul to swallow, But by the peep of light A gentle calm did follow. What need I then despair, Though ills stand round about me; Since mischiefs neither dare To bark or bite without Thee?
