POEMS FOR THE SEA.

When all human help was vain,
   Can we e'er such love forget?

E'er that tender mercy grieve
   That upheld us when we prayed,
Or the sacred promise break
   That in danger's hour we made?

No. Upon our spirits seal
   This memorial of Thy praise,
And the grateful love we feel
   Make as lasting as our days.
