Excerpt: ... In the drifting darkness Gazed he through the storm For he knew the presence Of the Lord of HellAuthor of confusion, Jesus marked him well. v. Sternly he rebuked him, 'Peace, be still, I say: ' Sank the storm in silence, Wind and wave obey. In the tranquil midnight, On the breathless sea, Fell his voice, 'Ah, faithless, Wherefore doubted ye?' XLI. TALITHA CUMI. i. In the upper chamber, Where the dead was laid, Rose the wail of anguish Round the sleeping maid: Loud in measured cadence Swelled the dirge of woe, If the tear which paid it Might forget to flow. 11.

Alleluia Alleluia, .... Almi
