He heard me from his holy hill;

At his command the waves roll’d by;

He beckon’d and the winds were still.

O trembling, learn

That Peter, too, was chosen by his Lord,

Admonished, and forewarned, and resolute,

And sworn to persevere in righteousness;

Yet in the hour of trial, Peter fell.

Into temptation lead us not, O God!
