THE BREEZE AT BETHLEHEM by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I THAT HAVE LASHED THE SEA
Last Line: AND STORMS BE STILL.

I that have lashed the sea
And from the forest torn the rooted tree,
Come now, my passion spent,
A lowly penitent,
Sweet Child, to Thee.

Alike Thy sovereign will
The strong and weak, O slumbering Babe, fulfil.
As I before Thee now,
Shall waves submissive bow
And storms be still.
