"It is I be not afraid.
Great ruler of the land and sea/ almighty god we have come to thee
Able to succour and to save / from perils of the wind and wave.
Keep by thy mighty hand will keep the dwellers on the homeless deep
Speak to the shadows of the night and turn their darkness into light
Smoothe down the breakers rising crest / Say to the billow be at rest
Keep by thy mighty hand o keep, the dwellers on the homeless deep
Soothe the rough oceans troubled face / and bid the hurricane give place
To the soft breeze that wafts the barque / safely alike through light annd dark
Keep by thy mighty hand o keep, the dwellers on the homeless deep.
In storm or battle with thine arm / sheild thou the mariner from harm
From foe without from ills within / from deeds and words and thoughts sin
Keep by thy mighty hand o keep the dwellers on the homeless deep" |
