HYMNS FOR CHILDHOOD.
27


Oh God! thy name they well may praise,
   Who to the deep go down,
And trace the wonders of thy ways,
   Where rocks and billows frown!

If glorious be that awful deep,
    No human power can bind[1],
What then art Thou, who bidst it keep
   Within its bounds confined!

Let heaven and earth in praise unite,
    Eternal praise to Thee,
Whose word can rouse the tempest's might,
   Or still the raging sea!
