Lyics

Eternal Lord!  whose power

Can calm the heaving ocean,

Exalted thou,

Yet gracious bow;

Accept our warm devotion.



For thee, our all we leave,

Nor drop a tear of sadness;

As on we glide,

Be thou our guide, 

And fill our hearts with gladness.



We go 'mid pagan gloom

To spread the truth victorious;

Thy blessing send,

Thy word attend,

And make its triumph glorious.



And when our toils are done,

Smooth thou the dying pillow:

O, bring us blest

To endless rest,

Safe o'er death's troubled billow.
