Your life could be the one its wisdom saves
At sea, when you're beleaguered and beset
On every side by strife of wind and waves

For all their mighty names and massive forms
There'll never be and there has never been
A ship or fleet secure against the storms

When kings upon the main have clung to pride

I've held them down beneath the crushing tide
Till they have learned that no one masters me

But grace can still be found within the gale
With fear and rev'rence, raise your ragged sail
