If through unruffled seas
Toward heaven we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to thee,
We'll own the fostering gale.
But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.
Soon shall our doubts and fears
All yield to thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.
Teach us, in every state,
To make thy will our own;
And, when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone.
