MY PRAYER
Reading edition
How shall I pray to Thee, my God, Out on the troubled sea; Where billows rage and tempest roars— How shall I pray to Thee? How shall I pray to Thee, my God; No beacon-light I see; And I am far, so far, from home— How shall I pray to Thee? * * * * * * * My life, nor wind, nor wave, can harm Wherever I may be; For here, or there, I am Thy child, Through all eternity. Still, I must pray to Thee, my God, Whate’er Thy plan may be; Till thought of Thee shall calm for me The raging of the sea!
