Hymn to the Sea

By F. W. Field

F. W. FIELD
O Sea, thy deep, unchanging blue, As changeless as the blue on high, Is emblem of the constancy Of Him who rules both sea and sky. — Isa. 49 : 15, 16.
Thy yawning depths, so dark and drear, That never know the sun’s clear light, Are like the deeper, darker chasm, Wherein our sins sink from his sight. — Micah 7 : 19.
Thy restless waves that ceaseless roll, And cover o’er thy bosom bright, Are emblems of his righteousness, That robes his saints like garments white. — Isa. 48 : 18.
Thy boundless stretch, so vast, so far Beyond the reach of human ken, Is like the love, so full and free, He beareth to the sons of men. — 1 John 3 : 1.
O Father, Sovereign of the sea, In all thy works we own thy sway! O, manifest thy power in us, For our salvation, day by day! — Col. 1 : 13, 14, 16.
