1 Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, Thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way.
2 In the morning fill their sails, 'Mid the dark send favouring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast.
3 Let Thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be Thou, Lord, their shining light.
4 Thus as hour by hour rolls by Watch them with Thy sleepless eye: Guide with Thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land.
5 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with Thee Where there shall be "no more sea."
