Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGFGGH AIJIJE KLKLLH| How easily He turns the tides | A |
| Just now the yellow beach was dry | B |
| Just now the gaunt rocks all were bare | C |
| The sun beat hot and thirstily | D |
| Each sea weed waved its long brown hair | C |
| And bent and languished as in pain | E |
| Then in a flashing moment's space | F |
| The white foam feet which spurned the sand | G |
| Paused in their joyous outward race | F |
| Wheeled wavered turned them to the land | G |
| And a swift legionary band | G |
| Poured oil the waiting shores again | H |
| - | |
| How easily He turns the tides | A |
| The fulness of my yesterday | I |
| Has vanished like a rapid dream | J |
| And pitiless and far away | I |
| The cool refreshing waters gleam | J |
| Grim rocks of dread and doubt and pain | E |
| - | |
| Rear their dark fronts where once was sea | K |
| But I can smile and wait for Him | L |
| Who turns the tides so easily | K |
| Fills the spent rock pool to its brim | L |
| And up from the horizon dim | L |
| Leads His bright morning waves again | H |
