831. 8s. M. H. F. Gould. Hymn at Sea. 1 O Thou who hast spread out the skies, And measured the depths of the sea, 'Twixt heavens and ocean shall rise Our incense of praises to thee. 2 We know that thy presence is near While heaves our bark far from the land; -- We ride o'er the deep without fear; -- The waters are held in thy hand. 3 Eternity comes in the sound Of billows that never can sleep! There's Deity circling us round, -- Omnipotence walks o'er the deep! 4 O Father, our eye is to thee, As on for the haven we roll; And faith in our Pilot shall be An anchor to steady the soul.
