SS&S 1062: Great Ruler of the land and sea,
1. Great Ruler of the land and sea,
Almighty God, we come to Thee;
Able to succour and to save
From perils of the wind and wave.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
2. Speak to the shadows of the night,
And turn their darkness into light;
Smooth down the breakers rising crest,
Say to the billow, "Be at rest!"
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
3. Soothe the rough ocean's troubled face,
And bid the hurricane give place
To the soft breeze that wafts the bark
Safely alike through light and dark.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
4. In storm or battle, with Thine arm
Shield Thou the mariner from harm—
From foes without, from ills within,
From deeds, and words, and thoughts, of sin.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
5. O Son of God, in days of ill,
Say to each sorrow, "Peace! be still!
In hours of weakness be Thou nigh,
Heal Thou the sickness, hear the cry.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
6. When hidden is each guiding-star,
Flash out the beacon's light afar;
From mist and rock, and shoal and spray
Protect the sailor on his way.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
7. Defend from the quick lightning's stroke,
And from the iceberg's crushing shock;
Take Thou the helm, and surely guide
The wanderer o'er the wayward tide.
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!
8. Good Pilot of the awful main-search,
Let us not plead Thy love in vain;
Jesus, draw near with kindly aid,
Say, "It is I; be not afraid!"
Keep by Thy mighty hand, oh keep
The dwellers on the homeless deep!

Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
