WE PRAISE THEE OH LORD, DEFENDING US FROM THE WAVES

 

And should I reassure

Those who without conscience

Leave us to endure

Random and brutal

The exigencies we never expect.

Hearing the drowning cries

Where men are deaf

How can we be bereft

I think God is proved more pure by their exit

Coming to defend us from the oncoming waves

And fiercer yet

Defending us from being left alone.
