[00:13.60]The ship went on with solemn face;
[00:23.96]To meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35.06]The solemn ship went onward.
[00:48.75]I bowed down weary in the place;
[01:00.11]for parting tears and present sleep
[01:09.02]Had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:19.80]
[01:22.75]The new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28.80]The waters around me, turbulent,
[01:35.04]The skies, impassive o'er me,
[01:44.69]Calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:55.07]As glorified by even the intent
[02:03.07]Of holding the day glory!
[02:16.61]
[02:28.82]Love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
[02:36.81]The sea sings round me while ye roll afar
[02:46.36]The hymn, unaltered,
[02:53.70]And kneel, where once I knelt to pray,
[03:04.75]And bless me deeper in your soul
[03:14.04]Because your voice has faltered.
[03:20.92]And though this sabbath comes to me
[03:38.00]Without the stolèd minister,
[03:45.78]And chanting congregation,
[03:57.97]God's Spirit shall give comfort.
[04:12.92]He who brooded soft on waters drear,
[04:21.37]Creator on creation.
[04:32.96]
[04:38.26]He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:46.15]He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:52.31]Where keep the saints, with harp and
[04:59.38]song,
[04:59.75]An endless endless sabbath morning,
[05:08.26]An endless sabbath morning,
[05:18.94]And on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:25.91]On that sea commixed with fire,
[05:32.50]Oft drop their eyelids raised too long
[05:37.05]To the full Godhead's burning.
[05:45.26]The full Godhead's burning.
[06:08.84]
