High on the broken wave, ???? ???? ???? ??? not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm ?? laid, the winds ??????, Obedient to Thy will; The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command ?? still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and ??????, Thy goodness ?? adore; We praise Thee for Thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 ??? ????, ?????? ???? ?????????? ????, A sacrifice shall be; And death, ???? ????? ????? ?? ??? ???, Shall join ??? ????? to Thee.
