EN 983 O’er the Trackless Ocean Guided

Ps.48.1

Versi Version 1

1

O’er the trackless ocean guided

By Thy hand our fathers came;

They, O Lord, in Thee confided,

Loved Thy day, revered Thy Name;

Nor would we, their faith despising,

False to their devotion be,

But, on wings of pray’r arising,

Lift our contrite hearts to Thee.

2

In the new land, wild and lonely,

Rude the homes which they upraised;

There they sought unto Thee only,

There Thy love and mercy praise;

In our fairer habitations,

May their zeal in us increase,

While Thy gracious consolations

Prove our everlasting peace.

3

Destined for their fathers’ places,

Age on until the end,

Keep, O keep, our children’s faces

Turned to Thee, our changeless Friend;

And may all who boon of Heaven

Now or evermore shall crave,

Know on earth Thy blessing given,

Glory find beyond the grave.
