224 Save, Lord, or We Perish

Words: Reginald Heber, 1827

Music: M. Mark Wynn, 1870

Meter: 12s.

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.
