Like one in peril of the mighty sea!
Thou wilt preserve me by Thy power
From all my raging foes;
Thy heavenly host in danger’s hour,
Before me goes;
Cherubic and seraphic ranks in might,
Far scattering the forces of my night.
I see the Patriarchs of eld,
The Prophets bold and strong;
Apostles who the Lord beheld,
