Waiting in the Watches

"Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in Thy Word" (Psalm 119:148). "And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea... saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid" (Matthew 14:25,27).

Sometimes when it is very late,
And all is quiet in the night,
I’ll read God’s Word and meditate,
And in His way I will delight.

Sometimes when storms will come my way,
I will cry to God for aid.
I’ll wait and watch to hear Him say:
“It is I, be not afraid!”
