Sea Story

Tune: Melita

(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')

Psalm 107 v.23-31

********

They that in ships who go to sea

That trade, do business there, so be

These see the works of the LORD, too

His wonders in the deeps anew

For He commands, and storm winds raise

Which lift waves in turbulent days

 

Waves mount up as to heaven high

Then down to depths they fall and ide

Those who sail, their souls troubled be

For they the storm, commotion see

They reel to and fro like drunken

Are taken to their wits end then

 

Then in their trouble they do call

On the LORD, that He save them all

To bring them out of their troubles

And their distress, which them appals

He make the storm a calm, brings peace

So that the waves turmoil does cease

 

Then they are glad, for be quiet

They praise the LORD with thankful heart

So He brings them to haven, hark

Place for which they did disembark

O that people the LORD would praise

His goodness, wondrous works upraise
