For H. P.
On the land and on the sea,
Jesus keep both you and me:
Jesus keep both you and me:
Going out and coming in,
Christ keep us both from shame and sin:
Christ keep us both from shame and sin:
In this world, in the world to come,
Keep us safe and lead us home:
Keep us safe and lead us home:
Today in toil, tonight in rest,
Be Best Beloved and love us best.
Be Best Beloved and love us best.
