[00:00]	Sabbath Morning at Sea
[00:13]	The ship went on with solemn face;
[00:24]]	To meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35]	The solemn ship went onward.
[00:48]	I bowed down weary in the place;
[00:59]	for parting tears and present sleep
[01:08]	Had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:21]	The new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28]	The waters around me, turbulent,
[01:34]	The skies, impassive o'er me,
[01:43]	Calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:54]	As glorified by even the intent
[02:03]	Of holding the day glory!
[02:32]	Love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
[02:38]	The sea sings round me while ye roll afar
[02:46]	The hymn, unaltered,
[02:54]	And kneel, where once I knelt to pray,
[03:05]	And bless me deeper in your soul
[03:13]	Because your voice has faltered.
[03:27]	And though this sabbath comes to me
[03:38]	Without the stolèd minister,
[03:47]	And chanting congregation,
[04:01]	God's Spirit shall give comfort.
[04:13]	He who brooded soft on waters drear,
[04:21]	Creator on creation.
[04:38]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:47]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:53]	Where keep the saints, with harp and song,
[05:02]	An endless endless sabbath morning,
[05:08]	An endless sabbath morning,
[05:20]	And on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:27]	On that sea commixed with fire,
[05:33]	Oft drop their eyelids raised too long
[05:37]	To the full Godhead's burning.
[05:46]	The full Godhead's burning.

[00:00]	Sabbath Morning at Sea
[00:13]	The ship went on with solemn face
[00:24]]	To meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35]	The solemn ship went onward.
[00:48]	I bowed down weary in the place
[00:59]	for parting tears and present sleep
[01:08]	Had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:21]	The new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28]	The waters around me, turbulent,
[01:34]	The skies, impassive o' er me,
[01:43]	Calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:54]	As glorified by even the intent
[02:03]	Of holding the day glory!
[02:32]	Love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
