On the deck of a homebound steamer I raised my gun to take straight aim, The voyagers gathered one night; When these sweet words I heard you sing: Our fatherland had been spoken, Lord, cover my defenceless head Its shores were just coming in sight. Beneath the shadow of Thy wing.' 'Twas the close of a Sunday at sea ; '' Your prayer was heard ; I could not fire, The waters were peaceful and still— And no attack that night was made. The " Afterwards " of a wild storm, Again I heard those words, and know Whose winds had gone down at His will. You are the man that hymn once saved." While hearts on God's mercy bethought, The singer grasped the stranger's hand— 'Mid silence and quiet repose, '' Remember well that lonely beat, In the hush of that hallowed hour Those hours so full of dangers, when The voice of a singer arose ; I paced with weary, anxious feet. And the words he took for his song '' I thought of home, of friends, and all Were those which had often been told— Those things in life we hold: most dear ; ''Jesus, lover of my soul "—that And then of Him, who says He'll hide Sweet hymn which can never grow old.
