R.:O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave,
Whom no man can comfort, whom no man can save;

With darkness surrounded, by terrors dismay'd,
In toiling and rowing thy strength is decay'd.

Loud roaring, the billows would thee overwhelm,
But skillful's the pilot who sits at the helm ;
His wisdom conduct thee, his power thee defends,
In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends.

My promise, my truth, are they light in thine eyes?
