Although the disciples were a considerable distance away, Jesus was well aware of them. Comforting, isn’t it?

     22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.(KJV)

1. All praise to God, who reigns above, 
The God of all creation, 
The God of wonders, power, and love, 
The God of our salvation! 
With healing balm my soul He fills, 
The God who every sorrow stills,– 
To God all praise and glory! 

2. What God’s almighty power hath made 
His gracious mercy keepeth; 
By morning dawn or evening shade 
His watchful eye ne’er sleepeth; 
Within the kingdom of His might 
Lo, all is just and all is right,– 
To God all praise and glory! 

3. I cried to Him in time of need: 
Lord God, oh, hear my calling! 
For death He gave me life indeed 
And kept my feet from falling. 
For this my thanks shall endless be; 
Oh, thank Him, thank our God, with me,– 
To God all praise and glory! 

4. The Lord forsaketh not His flock, 
His chosen generation; 
He is their Refuge and their Rock, 
Their Peace and their Salvation. 
As with a mother’s tender hand 
He leads His own, His chosen band,– 
To God all praise and glory! 

5. Ye who confess Christ’s holy name, 
To God give praise and glory! 
Ye who the Father’s power proclaim, 
To God give praise and glory! 
All idols under foot be trod, 
The Lord is God! The Lord is God! 
To God all praise and glory! 

6. Then come before His presence now 
And banish fear and sadness; 
To your Redeemer pay your vow 
And sing with joy and gladness: 
Though great distress my soul befell, 
The Lord, my God, did all things well,– 
To God all praise and glory!
