William Chatterton Dix,
On the Waters Dark and Drear
“ Bring us back to port again; In our haven we shall be, Jesu, if we have but Thee. Only by Thy power and love Fit us for the port above; Still the deadly storm within, Gusts of passion, waves of sin. So, when breaks the glorious dawn Of the resurrection morn, When the night of toil is o’er, We shall see Thee on the shore. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three in One, Praise unending unto Thee, Now and evermore shall be. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
