1 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 black shade no more.
3 Oh Thou eternal Ruler,
Who holdest in Thine arm
The tempests of the ocean,
Protect them from all harm.
4 Oh be thy presence with them,
Wherever they may be;
Though far from us who love them,
Still let them be with Thee.
