Hymne XXVIII. When we come a Shore.
[_]
It is a Mercy worth acknowledging, when God hath brought us to fixe our feet on firm land again; and that the Winds and Tides have been made serviceable unto us: Therefore, in this Hymn God is praised for that Benefit.
Sing this as the former Hymn.
[1]
I thank thee Lord, I thee adore,With humbled heart, and bended knee,
That, thus upon the Stable Shore
My Feet in safetie fixed be.
I praise thee, that the fickle Seas,
For me a Pathway, have been made,
Through which unharmed, and at ease,
A Passage, hither, I have had.
2
I thank thee that thou didst provide,And serviceable make to mee,
The motions both of Winde and Tide;
Though I am slack in serving thee
47
No Splitting-Rock, no Gulph, or Bar,
No Storme, or Bloody Pyrats hands,
To ruine me permitted were.
3
For This, and ev'ry other thing,Which by thy Favour I possesse,
I thank thee Lord; Thy praise I sing;
And thy abounding love confesse.
O let thy Grace (which fixed hath
My Feet in-safetie on the Land)
Preserve me constant in thy Path
And, ever true, to thy Command.
