I HARK, the song of jubilee, God Omnipotent shall reign; Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark, the sound, From the centre to the skies, Sheathed Hissword: He speaks; 'tis done, Are the kingdoms of His Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole He shall reign, when like a scroll God in Christ, is All in all.

(1771-1854.) 1819, 1825. 2 O Saviour, whose almighty word 4 O Trinity of love and power, Our brethren shield in danger's hour; 1143 I WHILE o'er the deep Thy servants sail, When in the tempting port they ride, 4 If life's wide ocean smile or roar, Still guide them to the heavenly shore; 1 O GOD, Who metest in Thy Hand And plunged where seething eddies beil; 3 Rule then, O Lord, the ocean's wrath, Send Thou, O Lord, the prosperous gale; 4 And when there shall be sea no more, And on their hearts where'er they go, O let Thy heavenly breezes blow. 2 If on the morning's wings they fly, 3 When tempests rock the groaning bark, Save that of mingled flame and glass, Where goes no galley sped by oar, Where gallant ships no longer pass; 5 When dawns the Resurrection morn, Upon that shore, O Jesus, stand, And give Thy pilgrims, faint and worn, Their welcome to the Happy Land. Rev. Richard Frederick Littledale. (1833—) 1867 ab. TEMPEST. 12. German Choral. 1700. 1. WHEN thro' the torn sail the wild tempest is streaming, When o'er the dark wave the red 2 O Jesus, once rocked on the breast of the billow, Who cries in his anguish, "Save, Lord, or we perish." PILGRIM. 8, 7. D. George Kingsley. (1811-) 1853 1. TOSSED upon life's raging billow, Sweet it is, O Lord, to know, Thou didst press a sailor's pil - low, And canst feel a sailor's woe. Nev -er slumb'ring, nev-er sleeping, Though the night be dark and drear, Thou the faithful watch art keeping, "All, all's well," Thy constant cheer. 2 And though loud the wind is howling, All its noise and tumult still, 3 Thus my heart the hope will cherish, Thou wilt hear the sailor's cry; And though mast and sail be riven, Life's short voyage will soon be o'er ; Safely moored in Heaven's wide haven, Storms and tempests vex no more. Rev. George Washington Bethune. (1805-1862.) 1830. alt. Darkness round me, billows o'er me, Not the glimmer of a star: Gasping as I was for breath; 2 All the evils of a life-time Bearing down on my dark path, Thinking of the night of wrath ! Burst upon me like a star. 3 And a voice spoke to me cheerly, Spoke as from that burning star, "Trust to me, and I will save you; Cling not to a broken spar." Trembling, yet believing, hoping, I was borne above the wave; And I live to tell how Jesus Did a poor lost sinner save. Rev Edward Hopper. (1818) 1870, 1872 |
