One Hundred Holy Songs, Carols, and Sacred Ballads | ||
5.
My Jesu! walking on the strand, a ship about to sail,And “All My love to them she bears, is but an unknown tale;
Where is the man will tell My tale and dare the desert sea,
Albeit, he take his life in hand, and sailing meet—with Me?”
86
6.
Lord Jesu, I will sail this night, and tell Thy story o'er,E'en though unto the land beloved return the ship no more,
For O sweet death, and O sweet death, if death my dower should be,
Even so come, Lord Jesus,—come, and meet us on the sea.
