The night is dark, the waves run high,
Nor moon or stars in yon­der sky;
What cheer ab­ove the stor­my swell?
The look­out’s an­swer, All is well.

Refrain

All is well! All is well!
What cheer to know that all is well!
All is well! All is well!
The look­out an­swers All is well!

I sleep up­on the bil­low’s crest,
Like John up­on the Mas­ter’s breast;
For He my ev­ery fear doth quell
With His good mes­sage, All is well.

Refrain

By grief and sin thy soul op­pressed,
And all around thee in un­rest,
How blest to hear the look­out’s bell,
And cheer our hearts with All is well.

Refrain

No sleep e’er dims our pi­lot’s eyes,
He’s e’er at­ten­tive to our cries;
He’ll save us from a sin­ner’s hell,
And cheer our hearts with All is well.

Refrain

Rest peace­ful­ly up­on the deep,
For Je­sus ev­er­more will keep;
The word pass on, to oth­ers tell,
The look­out’s an­swer, All is well.
