Safe Upon the Billowy Deep { Safe Upon the Billowy Deep by Henry Coppe, 1887 GLEBE FIELD-John Bacchus Dykes Safe Upon the Billowy Deep } Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, thy servants keep Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. In the morning fill their sails, Slid the dark send favouring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. Let thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray Through the watches of the night, Be thou, Lord, their shining light. Thus, as hour by hour rolls by, Watch them with thy sleepless eye: Guide with thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with thee Where there shall be "no more sea." Amen.
