The ship went on with solemn face

To meet the darkness on the deep

The solemn ship went onward

I bowed down weary in the place

For parting tears and present sleep

Had weighed mine eyelids downward

The new sight the new wondrous sight

The waters around me turbulent

The skies impassive o'er me

Calm in a moonless sunless light

As glorified by even the intent

Of holding the day glory

Love me sweet friends this sabbath day

The sea sings round me while ye roll afar

The hymn unaltered

And kneel where once I knelt to pray

And bless me deeper in your soul

Because your voice has faltered

And though this sabbath comes to me

Without the stolèd minister

And chanting congregation

God's spirit shall give comfort

He who brooded soft on waters drear

Creator on creation

He shall assist me to look higher

He shall assist me to look higher

Where keep the saints with harp and

Song

An endless endless sabbath morning

An endless sabbath morning

And on that sea commixed with fire

On that sea commixed with fire

Oft drop their eyelids raised too long

To the full godhead's burning

The full godhead's burning
