O Savior! When Thy Loving Hand

O Sav­ior! when Thy lov­ing hand

Has brought us o’er the sea

Through per­ils ma­ny

safe to land—

The land we longed to see.

Oh

help us

for Thy help we need

Each mo­ment more and more

In per­ils that we scarce­ly heed

More dead­ly

on the shore.

Lord

save us! and the Christ­ian name

Oh

help us pure to keep

On sea or land

alike the same

Till we in death shall sleep.

Then through Thy mer­its

washed and clean

From sin’s pol­lut­ing stain

In rai­ment white may we be seen

With all Thy saints to reign.
