Deliverance from storms and shipwreck; or The seaman's song

Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #223 (1791) First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad? With the bold mariner survey The unknown regions of the sea. 2 They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favor of the wind; Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 3 Now to the heavens they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! 4 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. 5 He bids the winds their wrath assuage, The stormy tempests cease to rage? The gladsome train their fears give o'er, And hail with joy their native shore. 6 O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
