Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December

Author: John Q. Adams, 1767-1848 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12411 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: When o’er the billow-heaving deep Lyrics: 1 When o’er the billow-heaving deep, The fathers of our race, The precepts of their God to keep, Sought here their resting-place— That gracious God their path prepared, Preserved from every harm, And still for their protection bared His everlasting arm. 2 His breath, inspiring every gale, Impels them o’er the main; His guardian angels spread the sail, And tempests howl in vain. For them old ocean’s rocks are smoothed; December’s face grows mild; To vernal airs her blasts are soothed, And all their rage beguiled. 3 When Famine rolls her haggard eyes, His ever-bounteous hand Abundance from the sea supplies, And treasures from the sand. Nor yet His tender mercies cease; His overruling plan Inclines to gentleness and peace The heart of savage man. 4 And can our stony bosoms be To all these wonders blind? Nor swell with thankfulness to Thee, O Parent of mankind? All-gracious God, inflame our zeal; Dispense one blessing more; Grant us Thy boundless love to feel, Thy goodness to adore.
