Hymn Context Compare
Commend, Lord, to Thy care.
We plead with fer­vent plead­ing:
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
Has brought us o’er the sea,
We raise our hymn to Thee,
The wast­ing fev­er of the heart;
To vic­t’ry leads the way.
Oh where­fore, fear­ful as the dove,
From pas­sion’s heat pre­serve our life,
Oars la­bored hea­vi­ly, foam glim­mered white.
Speed on, with a mes­sage of cheer.
Gone are those great and good
Who will dare the truth to her­ald
Baptized in their own blood,
Watch and pray, yet rest as­sur­èd
He, our Lord and li­be­rat­or,
How say ye then to me,
Many temp­ta­tions lurk now at his side,
So with Thy mer­cies ev­er new
I know He is car­ing for me.

per­il

Watch o’er them day by day;
And find in Christ a re­fuge,
O Christ! Whose voice the wa­ters heard
The land we longed to see.
The hours of dark may be.
And to our souls Thy peace im­part.
Their path to glo­ry lies;
To any re­fuge, Lord, but Thee?
And give our souls true peace in Thee.
Then said the God of God, Peace: it is I.
They hear, and they an­swer our call;
And raised their hymn.
Soon the con­flict will be ov­er,
They passed un­con­scious­ly the flood,
end
And at last His flock shall rest
And to your mount­ain flee?
Flash out the search light, bright­en the way,
And bring them, Pi­lot wise and true,
He pro­mised to shield me from harm;
