Save, Lord, or We Perish 224

Tune: M. Mark Wynn, 1869
Lyrics: Reginald Heber, 1827
Meter: 12s (12,12,12,12)
When thro’ the torn sail the wild tempest is streaming,
When o'er the dark wave the red lightning is gleaming,
Nor hope lends a ray the poor seaman to cherish,
We fly to our Maker, Save, Lord or we perish.
