835. C. M. Select Hymns. Prayer for Seamen. 1 We come, O Lord, before thy throne, And, with united pleas, We meet and pray for those who roam Far off upon the seas. 2 O, may the Holy Spirit bow The sailor's heart to thee, Till tears of deep repentance flow Like rain-drops in the sea. 3 Then may a Saviour's dying love Pour peace into his breast, And waft him to the port above Of everlasting rest.
