Amid the storm that sweeps,
Like bil­lows o’er the soul;
I know that Je­sus keeps,
That He has full con­trol.

Refrain

He keeps, He keeps, I know He does,
He holds me by His pow­er;
He keeps, He saves, I know He does,
He’s with me ev­ery hour.

I will not fear the deeps
Of dark­ness nor of pain;
I know that Je­sus keeps,
I shall see light again.

Refrain

There’s for the eye that weeps,
A rest both sure and sweet;
I know that Je­sus keeps,
I’ve found a safe re­treat.

Refrain

The death that on­ward creeps,
Has lost its sting for me;
I know that Je­sus keeps,
His face at last I’ll see.

Refrain

And when I’ve climbed the steeps
Of Hea­ven’s bright do­main,
I’ll sing that Je­sus keeps,
With all the spot­less train.
