On the waters dark and drear,
Jesus, Savior, Thou art near,
With our ship where�er it roam,
As with loving friends at home.
Thou hast
walked the heaving wave;
Thou art mighty still to save;
With one gentle word of peace
Thou canst bid the tempest cease.
Safely from the boisterous main
Bring us back to port again;
In our haven we shall be,
Jesu, if we have but Thee.
Only by Thy power and love
Fit us for the port above;
Still the deadly storm within,
Gusts of passion, waves of sin.
So, when breaks the glorious dawn
Of the resurrection morn,
When the night of toil is o�er,
We shall see Thee on the shore.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise unending unto Thee,
Now and evermore shall be.
