7s & 6s.
Roll on, thou mighty ocean.
Roll on, thou mighty ocean;
And, as thy billows flow,
Bear messengers of mercy
To every land below.
2 Arise, ye gales, and waft them
Safe to the destined shore,
That man may sit in darkness
And death’s deep shade no more.
3 O thou eternal Ruler,
Who holdest in thine arm
The tempests of the ocean,
Protect them from all harm.
4 O be thy presence with them,
Wherever they may be;
Though far from us who love them,
O be they still with thee!
