Hymn for Survivors of the Titanic.

By HALL CAINE; The Great English Novelist.

[To Tune of "God Our Help in Ages Past."]

Lord of the everlasting hills,   God of the boundless sea, Help us through all the shocks of fate   To keep our trust in Thee.

When nature's unrelenting arm   Sweeps us like withes away, Maker of man, be Thou our strength   And our eternal stay.

When blind, insensate, heartless force   Puts out our passing breath, Make us to see Thy guiding light   In darkness and in death.

Beneath the roll of soundless waves   Our best and bravest lie; Give us to feel their spirits live   Immortal in the sky.

We are Thy children, frail and small,   Formed of the lowly sod, Comfort our bruised and bleeding souls,   Father and Lord and God.

(End.)
