From ev'ry stormy wind that blows by Samuel W. Beazley — Lyrics
1 From ev'ry stormy wind that blows,
from ev'ry swelling tide of woes,
there is a calm, a sure retreat,
’tis found beneath the mercy seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
the oil of gladness on our heads,
a place than all besides more sweet;
it is the bloodbought mercy seat.
3 There is a scene where spirits blend,
where friend holds fellowship with friend,

About From ev'ry stormy wind that blows
This anthem is ideal for services focused on comfort and refuge, or for times of remembrance. Samuel W. Beazley’s SATB setting of the familiar English text powerfully conveys the solace found in faith. The lyrics speak of a divine 'mercy seat' as a sanctuary from life’s trials, a place of spiritual reunion, and a source of heavenly assurance. The music offers a stirring and uplifting message, suitable for congregations seeking spiritual strength and peace. The solid harmonic language and clear melodic lines make this an accessible yet deeply moving choice for church choirs.
