Yet away saiied Parson Avery, away where daty ed,
AID the voice Of God seemed calling, 10 break The

To the ions of shen starving OF the rock, Of Marble

All day they sailed; at ngh;fal the pleasant land
Tie blackenng ky at It's starry lights denied,
And, far aud ~ the thunder OF tempest p'0pae'i'd.
Blotsd ont wesl the coast line, gone were rock and
wood and sand;
Grmly ANXIOUS stood the helusrnsn with the ,ler il
his hand,
And questioned of the darkness what was sec aud

And the prsacher heard hs dear ones nestled round
him, weeping sore:
Never heed, my ht,le children Christ is walking on
before
To the pleasant and of Heaven where the sea shall
be 10 more
All at once the great cloud parted like curtain drawn
aside,
To let down the torch of lightning the terror fer

And tie thunder and the whir.ind together mo.e the
tide.
There was wsiling in the shalOp, wcman's wal aud

crash Of breaking tmbers on the rocks Go sharp and
bare,
And through it all the murmur Of Father Avey's
prayer.
From the struggle in The the wild waves

On rock, where every billOw broke above him SIS it
passed.
Alone OF sll HE household the of God was csst.
There comrade heard him praying III the pause OF
wave and wind:
I" Al my own have gone before NE, and nn,er just
behind;
No, for life ask but only for the rest thy reasoned
fad
ON this night of death challenge the promise ofthy
Word
Let me see the great salvation of which mine sars
Let me pass from hsrce forgiven through the grace of
Christ, cur Lord!
(" In the baptism Of these waters wash white my every
sin,
And let me follow up to Thee my household and my
kin!
Open the sea-gae ofthy Heaven ard LET me enter in"
The ear Of God was open to his servants lat request
As the strong wave swept him DOWNWARD toe sweet
prayer upward pressed,
