[Our omnipotent Lord]

And the rest, some on boards, and some on, &c. —xxvii. 44.

Our omnipotent Lord
Remembers His word,
His promise fulfils,
While in human endeavours His arm He conceals;
In the means we perceive
By whose mercy we live,
And thankfully own,
The deliverance wrought, He hath wrought it alone.
All glory and power
To the God we adore!
Salvation is His,
Ever nigh to redeem from the hellish abyss:
Preserved by His love
Our souls are above,
Secure in His hand
Till with joy we arrive in Immanuel's land.
Though our vessel be broke
If we faithfully look
To the Saviour of all,
And on Jesus's name for deliverance call,
A plank or a board
The old ship will afford,
And in Jesus's power
We on that shall escape to the heavenly shore.
