[Thy works of glory, mighty Lord]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Thy works of glory, mighty Lord,
That rul'st the boist'rous sea,
The sons of courage shall record,
Who tempt the dang'rous way.
At thy command the winds arise,
And swell the tow'ring waves,
The men astonish'd mount the skies,
And sink in gaping graves.
