Swan

1.

Why should I be affrighted

At pestilence and war,

The fiercer be the tempest,

The sooner it is o'er

(Repeat previous line twice)

2.

With Jesus in the vessel,

The billows rise in vain,

They only will convey me

To yon Elysian plains,

(Repeat previous line twice)

(Repeat previous 2 lines)

3.

This world is full of dangers,

And foes that press me hard;

But Jesus he has promised

That he will be my guard.

4.

Here I shall not be tempted

Above what I can bear,

When fightings are exerted,

His kingdom for to share.

5.

From him I have my orders,

And while I do obey,

I find his Holy Spirit

Illuminates my way.

6.

The way is so delightful,

I wish to travel on,

Till I arrive at heaven,

To receive a starry crown.
