THE SHIP AT SEA. I've been thinking, sadly thinking. Thinking of my ship at sea, , I've been dreaming of the sinking. Of the ship so dear to me ihis ship h-s been smoothly sailing, Sailing for. a year or more, Surely, surely it's not failing, Failing, sailing to the shore. Oh! the wind is fiercely sweeping. Sweeping up a fearful roar, Can it be the ship is creeping. Creeping, sneaking from the shore. Hark! I hear the captain calling. Calling to his men on dec' , Now I see the ship a falling. Falling in a ruined wreck. Now again it's disappearing, Disappearing in a wave. Oh ship! Oh ship! for you I 'fn fearing, Fearing you'll not land the brave. Oh ship! Oh shii ! my heart is breaking, Breaking, for I think you're lost, And this voyage you are making, M aking at a costly cost Up and down the shore I'm trotting. Trotting like "Old Oriole", For your safety I am plotting, Plotting with my very soul. And now most nole ship at sea. I pray for your delivery. I pray All-Mighty-God to Thee, To bring the Judge-ship home to me.
