HYMN,
FOR THE BOATMEN, AS THEY APPROACH THE RAPIDS, UNDER THE CASTLE OF HEIDELBERG.
Jesu! bless our slender Boat,
By the current swept along;
Loud its threatenings—let them not
Drown the music of a Song
Breathed thy mercy to implore,
Where these troubled waters roar!
By the current swept along;
Loud its threatenings—let them not
Drown the music of a Song
Breathed thy mercy to implore,
Where these troubled waters roar!
Lord and Saviour! who art seen
Bleeding on that precious Rood;
If, while through the meadows green
Gently wound the peaceful flood,
We forgot Thee, do not Thou
Disregard thy Suppliants now!
Bleeding on that precious Rood;
If, while through the meadows green
Gently wound the peaceful flood,
We forgot Thee, do not Thou
Disregard thy Suppliants now!
