the ocean

Out where the full tides flow.
I will soar with You above the storm
Shall wake from their slum­ber;
Protect them from all harm!
With all tones of wa­ters blend­ing,
There the poor hea­then live, wait­ing for day;
Shall bear the rich freight to your de­so­late shore,
And bind the tem­pest with Thy will;
Where tem­pests and storms ne’er cease;
Painted ev­ery leaf and flow­er.
Deep, deep as the deep­est sea is my Sav­ior’s love.
Thro’ the rag­ing storms that roar;
