Like a ship upon the storm-tossed sea
Destined to be cast to and fro.
One day tribulations shall seek us out,
And then my awful terror will grow.
But why need I fear or tremble?
E’en though I be plunged into the abyss.
I know the day will surely arrive,
That you’d come and rescue me with a kiss.
For you have always been my anchor,
Amidst the dreadful tempest and calm.
And whilst I dwell in your loving arms,
I know you’ll grant your healing balm.
My words could never truly express,
Those heartfelt feelings yet unspoken.
But before Heav’n and Earth, I now declare—
That my love for you hath forever awoken.
