Our ship fear is but lily thriving,
Some clouds are black and some are blue,
.The women are huddled together below,
Above the captain treads to and fro;
Tell me, for who shall tell but you,
Whittier away our ship is driving!
The wind is blowing a storm this way
The bubbles in my face are winking-
sTis growing dark in the middle OF day,
And I cannot see the good green Land,
Nor a ridge of rock, nor a belt OF sand;

How long might little boat be Sink

And from drought with nothing but brine

How long would strong man swim,

All men must die, and some must drown,
And there isn't water enough in the sea
To cleanse a sinner like you or me;
o Lord, the ships I've seen 60 down,
Crew and captain and all together J!
The sailor smiled smile of cheer,
And looked at me a look of wonder,
And said as he wiped away tear,
Forty years I've been off the land
And God has held me safe in His hand;
He ruleth the storm-he Is with us here,
And His love for us no sin can sun

his wife and daughter, sat on the grand
stand. The face Of the latter looked
pale and worn, as she sat listlessly
