Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #31 (1945) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: What vessel is that passing Across the boundless deep, On which the billows massing In foaming fury sweep? She seems in sore distress As though she soon would founder Upon the shoals around her And sink without redress. It is the storm-tossed vessel Of God’s own church on earth, With which the world doth wrestle, And send its fury forth, While Jesus oft appears As though He still were sleeping, With His disciples weeping And crying out in fears. But let the world with fury Against the church but rave, And spend its might to bury Her in the roaring wave! It only takes a word To hush the wild commotion And show the mighty ocean Her Lord is still aboard. Languages: English
