Speed Thy Servants, Saviour, Speed Them

Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them; Thou art Lord of winds and waves; They are bound, but thou has freed them, Now they go free the saves, Be thou with them (2ce)

Friends, and home, and all forsaking Lord they go our they command; As their stay thy promise talking While they travel sea and land; O be with them! Lead them safely by the hand.

Where no fruit appear to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain, Then in mercy, Lord draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain; Thus supported Let their zeal revive again.
mf cr
In the midst of opposition, Let them trust, o Lord, in thee, When success attends their mission, Let thy servants humbler be; Never leave them Till thy face in heaven thy see;

There to reap in joy for ever Fruits that grows from seed here sown, There to be with Him who never Ceases to preserve His own, And with gladness Give the praise to Him alone.
