Who o’er the Waves from Shore to Shore

Who o’er the waves from shore to shore

The gifts of com­merce bear

The won­ders of the deep ex­plore

And own that God is there.

By these His works are seen; His ways

By these are un­der­stood;

He speaks the word; the storm ob­eys

And ris­ing lifts the flood.

Distressed

to God they make their pray­er;

Obedient to His will

The storms that raged their rage for­bear

The seas that roared are still.

Each grief

each fear

at once re­signed

They see their la­bor o’er.

Then

led by Him

their hav­en find

And touch the wished for shore.

O then

that all would bless His name

Whose mer­cy thus they prove

And pleased from age to age pro­claim

The won­ders of His love!
