Father of Heaven, Thy guidance we implore
Where’er Thy providence our steps may send;
With drooping hearts we leave our native shore,
Do Thou be with us always—to the end!
Protect and guard us on the lonely sea,
Though angry storms our flutt’ring canvas rend,
The anchor of our hope is fixed on Thee,
Do Thou be with us always—to the end!
Prepare for us a home beyond the wave,
