4 Save, till all these tempests end,
All who on thy love depend ;
Waft our happy spirits o'er ;
Land us on the heavenly shore.

Another,
1 ORD of earth, and air, and sea,
-1-- A Supreme in power and grace,
Under thy protection, we
Our souls and bodies place.
Bold an unknown land to try,
We launch into the foaming deep ;
Rocks, and storms, and deaths defv,
With Jesus in the ship.
Miscellaneous Hymns. 685
2 Who the calm can understand,
In a believer's breast ?
In the hollow of his hand
Our souls securely rest :
Winds may rise, and seas may roar,
We on his love our spirits stay :
Him with quiet joy adore,
Whom winds and seas obey.
HYMN 765. c. m.
The Traveller's Hymn.
1 TTOW are thy servants blest, O Lord !
-*- ■*■ How sure is their defence !
Eternal Wisdom is their guide,
Their help Omnipotence.
2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear.
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will ;
The sea, that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we'll adore;
We '11 praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
6 Our life, while thou preserv'st that life,
Thy sacrifice shall be ;
And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to thee

JVatch-Night.
1 TTOW many pass the guilty night
■*- ■*- In revellings and frantic mirth !
The creature is their sole delight,
Their happiness the things of earth :
For us suffice the season past ;
We choose the better part at last.
2 We will not close our wakeful eyes,
We will not let our eyelids sleep,
But humbly lift them to the skies,
And all a solemn vigil keep :
So many years on sin bestow'd,
Can we not watch one night for God ?
3 We can, O Jesus, for thy sake,
