Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107e (1766) Lyrics: 1 Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord,
Thy Wonders in the Deeps,
The Sons of Courage shall record,
Who trade in floating Ships.
2 At thy Command the Winds arise,
And swell the tow'ring Waves;
The Men astonish'd mount the Skies,
And sink in gaping Graves.
3 [Again they climb the watry Hills,
And plunge in Deeps again;
Each like a tott'ring Drunkard reels,
And finds his Courage vain.
4 Frighted to hear the Tempest roar,
They pant with flutt'ring Breath,
And hopeless of the distant Shore,
Expect immediate Death.]
5 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries;
He hears the loud Request,
And orders Silence through the Skies,
And lays the Floods to rest.
6 Sailors rejoice to lose their Fears,
And see the Storm allay'd:
Now to their Eyes the Port appears;
There let their Vows be paid.
7 'Tis GOD, that brings them safe to Land;
Let stupid Mortals know
That Waves are under his Command,
And all the Winds that blow.
8 O that the Sons of Men would praise
The Goodness of the Lord!
And those that see thy wond'rous Ways,
Thy wond'rous Love record.
