224 Save, Lord, or We Perish

Tune: M. Mark Wynn, 1869

Words: Reginald Heber, 1827

Meter: 12s (12,12,12,12)

When through the torn sail the wild tempest is streaming,
When o’er the dark wave the red lightning is gleaming,
Nor hope lends a ray the poor seaman to cherish,
We fly to our maker, save, Lord or we perish.
