Who O'er The Waves From Shore To Shore

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

By these His works are seen; His ways By these are understood; He speaks the word; the storm obeys, And rising lifts the flood.

Verse 3

Distressed, to God they make their prayer; Obedient to His will, The storms that raged their rage forbear, The seas that roared are still.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

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!
