Songs of Ocean

Lord, the water floods have lifted,
Ocean floods have lift their roar;
Now they pause where they have drifted,
Now they burst upon the shore.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
For the ocean's sounding store.

With all tones of waters blending,
Glorious is the breaking deep;
Glorious, beauteous without ending,
God Who reigns on heav'ns high steep.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Songs of ocean never sleep.

-John Keble, "God, the Lord, a King Remaineth"
