[00:13.60]	The ship went on with solemn face;
[00:23.96]	To meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35.06]	The solemn ship went onward.
[00:48.75]	I bowed down weary in the place;
[01:00.11]	for parting tears and present sleep
[01:09.02]	Had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:19.80]
[01:22.75]	The new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28.80]	The waters around me, turbulent,
[01:35.04]	The skies, impassive o'er me,
[01:44.69]	Calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:55.07]	As glorified by even the intent
[02:03.07]	Of holding the day glory!
[02:16.61]
[02:28.82]	Love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
[02:36.81]	The sea sings round me while ye roll afar
[02:46.36]	The hymn, unaltered,
[02:53.70]	And kneel, where once I knelt to pray,
[03:04.75]	And bless me deeper in your soul
[03:14.04]	Because your voice has faltered.
[03:20.92]	And though this sabbath comes to me
[03:38.00]	Without the stolèd minister,
[03:45.78]	And chanting congregation,
[03:57.97]	God's Spirit shall give comfort.
[04:12.92]	He who brooded soft on waters drear,
[04:21.37]	Creator on creation.
[04:32.96]
[04:38.26]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:46.15]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:52.31]	Where keep the saints, with harp and
[04:59.38]	song,
[04:59.75]	An endless endless sabbath morning,
[05:08.26]	An endless sabbath morning,
[05:18.94]	And on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:25.91]	On that sea commixed with fire,
[05:32.50]	Oft drop their eyelids raised too long
[05:37.05]	To the full Godhead's burning.
[05:45.26]	The full Godhead's burning.
[06:08.84]

[00:13.60]	The ship went on with solemn face
[00:23.96]	To meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35.06]	The solemn ship went onward.
[00:48.75]	I bowed down weary in the place
[01:00.11]	for parting tears and present sleep
[01:09.02]	Had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:19.80]
[01:22.75]	The new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28.80]	The waters around me, turbulent,
[01:35.04]	The skies, impassive o' er me,
[01:44.69]	Calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:55.07]	As glorified by even the intent
[02:03.07]	Of holding the day glory!
[02:16.61]
[02:28.82]	Love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
[02:36.81]	The sea sings round me while ye roll afar
[02:46.36]	The hymn, unaltered,
[02:53.70]	And kneel, where once I knelt to pray,

[03:20.92]	And though this sabbath comes to me
[03:38.00]	Without the stole d minister,
[03:45.78]	And chanting congregation,

[04:12.92]	He who brooded soft on waters drear,
[04:21.37]	Creator on creation.
[04:32.96]
[04:38.26]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:46.15]	He shall assist me to look higher,
[04:52.31]	Where keep the saints, with harp and
[04:59.38]	song,
[04:59.75]	An endless endless sabbath morning,
[05:08.26]	An endless sabbath morning,
[05:18.94]	And on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:25.91]	On that sea commixed with fire,
[05:32.50]	Oft drop their eyelids raised too long
[05:37.05]	To the full Godhead' s burning.
[05:45.26]	The full Godhead' s burning.
