Poems for the Sea.

Yet should wildest tempests swell,
Be thou near, and all is well;
Saviour! on this tossing Sea
Let us find repose in Thee.

Countless wrecks are spread below,
Where with daring keel we go;
Gentle forms, and bosoms brave,
Ocean's floor, like jewels pave;
If with them in briny deep
It should be our lot to sleep,
Saviour! from the whelming sea
Take our ransomed souls to Thee.
