Verse 1

HOW are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence.

Verse 2

In foreign realms, in lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air.

Verse 3

When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save.

Verse 4

The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still.

Verse 5

In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore; We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more.

Verse 6

Our life, while thou preserv'st that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.
