His Way Is In the Sea

Verse 1

Lord of the wide-extended main! Whose power the winds and seas controls, Whose hand doth earth and heaven sustain, Whose Spirit leads believing souls;

Verse 2

Throughout the deep Thy footsteps shine; We own Thy way is in the sea, O’erawed by majesty divine, And lost in Thine immensity!

Verse 3

Thy wisdom here we learn to adore, Thine everlasting truth we prove, The wondrous heights of boundless power, The unfathomable depths of love.

Verse 4

Infinite God, Thy greatness spanned These heavens, and meted out the skies; Lo! in the hollow of Thy hand The measured waters sink and rise.

Verse 5

And here Thine unknown paths we trace, Which dark to human eyes appear: While through the mighty waves we pass Faith only sees that God is here.
