H.J. Vine preaches on the theme of overcoming fear and finding courage
in the midst of life's storms, drawing inspiration from the biblical
account of Jesus calming the stormy sea and walking on water. He
emphasizes the importance of keeping our focus on Christ during
turbulent times, trusting in His power and presence to bring peace and
calm to our hearts. Vine reminds his listeners that Jesus is always
near, ready to rescue us from distress and peril, and that acknowledging
His divine authority can lead us to worship and declare Him as the Son
of God.

"Fear not! Fear not!" the voice divine

To storm-tossed rowers clearly calls!

The word of cheer, like melody

Sounds sweetly o'er the angry sea.

As music on the ear it falls.

"Be of good courage! It is I!

Be not afraid!" The Saviour says;

He sees the darkening of the deep,

His eyes are laden not with sleep.

The joy He brings excels all praise.

"Fear not!" thy toiling well He knows.

Distress and peril call Him nigh.

Thy crossing staved by boisterous winds

And raging waves His coming finds;

With peace He greets thee "It is I!"

"Be not afraid!" above the wave

He walks, and thou may'st with Him be:

Take not thine eyes from Christ, nor gaze

Upon the storm, for He doth raise

Faith's sight His quiet mien to see.

"Fear not! Fear not!" thy tiny ship

With calm He fills from heaven's abode;

And 'neath the peaceful smiling skies

Worship to Him, the Lord, doth rise.

"Truly, Thou art the Son of God!"
