O Lord, Be with Us When We Sail

Author: Edward A. Dayman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5059 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 2. We need not fear, though all around ’Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 3. The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. 4. If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon’s roar, 5. Be Thou the mainguard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. 6. Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. 7. To Thee the Father, Thee the Son, Whom earth and sky adore, And Spirit moving on the deep, Be praise forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
