O Lord! The ocean
Of rebellion is surging
And these tempests will not be stilled
Save through Thy boundless grace
Which hath embraced all regions
O Lord! Verily, they are weak
And Thou art the Powerful, the Mighty
O Lord! Wars have persisted
Distress and anxiety have waxed great
And every flourishing region is laid waste
O Lord! Hearts are heavy
And souls are in anguish
Have mercy on these poor souls
O Lord! The ocean
Of rebellion is surging
And these tempests will not be stilled
Save through Thy boundless grace
Which hath embraced all regions
O Lord! Verily they are weak
And Thou art the Powerful, the Mighty
The Mighty
O Lord! Wars have persisted
Distress and anxiety have waxed great
And every flourishing region is laid waste
O Lord! Hearts are heavy
And souls are in anguish
Have mercy on these poor souls
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, ha-ave mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, ha-ave mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
And draw up the people
From the abyss of the ocean
Draw up the people
From the abyss of the ocean
Draw up the people
From the abyss of the ocean
Draw up the people
O Lord! The ocean
Of rebellion is surging
