O Maker of the migh­ty deep
Whereon our ves­sels fare,
Above our life’s ad­ven­ture keep
Thy faith­ful watch and care.

Refrain

In Thee we trust, what­e’er be­fall;
Thy sea is great, our boats are small.

We know not where the sec­ret tides
Will help us or de­lay,
Nor where the lurk­ing tem­pest hides,
Nor where the fogs are gray.

Refrain

When out­ward bound we bold­ly sail
And leave the friend­ly shore,
Let not our heart of cour­age fail
Until the voy­age is o’er.

Refrain

When home­ward bound we glad­ly turn,
O bring us safe­ly there,
Where har­bor lights of friend­ship burn
And peace is in the air.

Refrain

Beyond the cir­cle of the sea,
When voy­ag­ing is past,
We seek our fi­nal port in Thee;
O bring us home at last.
