O Sav­ior! when Thy lov­ing hand
Has brought us o’er the sea,
Through per­ils ma­ny, safe to land—
The land we longed to see.

Oh, help us, for Thy help we need
Each mo­ment more and more
In per­ils that we scarce­ly heed,
More dead­ly, on the shore.

Lord, save us! and the Chris­tian name
Oh, help us pure to keep,
On sea or land, alike the same,
Till we in death shall sleep.

Then through Thy mer­its, washed and clean
From sin’s pol­lut­ing stain,
In rai­ment white may we be seen
With all Thy saints to reign.
