Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Affliction is a stormy deep 
Affliction is a stormy deep, where wave succeeds to wave; though o'er my head the billows sweep, I know the Lord can save. 
His grace and mercy trust, my soul, nor murmur at his rod: in vain the waves of trouble roll, while he is still thy God. 
Nathaniel Cotton (1707-1788), 1761 [[Category:Nathaniel Cotton]
