1 If on the quiet sea
Toward heav’n we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We’ll own the fav’ring gale.
2 But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.
3 Soon shall our doubts and fears
All yield to Thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.
