[Thy least disciple, I]

The other disciples came in a little ship, &c. —xxi. 8.

Thy least disciple, I
In this tempestuous sea
My business occupy
And urge my way to Thee,
My whole employ till life is o'er
To drag the net, and seek the shore;
My partners in the ship,
Master, vouchsafe to bless,
And help us through the deep
Into the port of peace;
Us, and whoe'er our pains have won
Receive, to feast around Thy throne.
