Tune: Melita
(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')
Psalm 107 v.23-31
*************
They that do go down to the sea
In ships, that do their business, see
In great waters, these the works view
Of the Lord, and His wonders too
[Refrain]: O that men for the Lord\'s goodness
Would praise Him for His works wondrous
For He commands, raises stormy
Winds, lifts up the waves, so be
They mount up then to the heavens
And go down to the depths again
[Refrain]: O that men for the Lord\'s goodness
Would praise Him for His works wondrous
Those on the seas, their souls faint are
They reel to and fro, from land far
And stagger like they who drunk be
Are at their wits end troublously
[Refrain]: O that men for the Lord\'s goodness
Would praise Him for His works wondrous
Then they cry in their trouble to
The Lord, He does help them anew
And brings them out of their distress
For His mercies they do Him bless
[Refrain]: O that men for the Lord\'s goodness
Would praise Him for His works wondrous
He makes the storm a calm, and waves
Are still, no longer to enslave
In fear, so then people be glad
He brings them to safety, not sad
[Refrain]: O that men for the Lord\'s goodness
Would praise Him for His works wondrous
