[Faith beholds the' invisible]

Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. —xxvii. 26.

Faith beholds the' invisible;
An heavenly Pilot's hand
Undergirds the shatter'd keel
And guides it to the strand:
Safe through the tempestuous deep
To Malta's fatal isle he steers,
Malta's isle must break the ship,
And save the passengers.
