Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: Laudes Domini #527 (1890) First Line: Roll on, thou mighty ocean Lyrics: 1 Roll on, thou mighty ocean;
And, as thy billows flow,
Bear messengers of mercy
To every land below.
Arise, ye gales, and waft them
Safe to the destined shore;
That man may sit in darkness,
And death's black shade no more.
2 O thou eternal Ruler,
Who holdest in thine arm
The tempests of the ocean,
Protect them from all harm!
Thy presence, Lord, be with them,
Wherever they may be;
Though far from us, who love them,
Still let them be with thee. Topics: Missions and Growth; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions Languages: English
