II	A
Watchman what of the night	B
See you a streak of light	B
Whither O Captain of the quest	C
The course we steer for Port of Rest	C
	-
How shall he answer he	D
Who never put to sea	D
Within his tabernacle wall	E
He cannot even hear us call	E
	-
Behind the jealous door	F
That he must pass no more	F
And whence he scarcely dares to look	G
He keeps his eyes upon his book	G
The little candles lit	H
Where the disciples sit	H
Light their small refuge round about	I
But show no gleam to those without	I
	-
Spirits that cannot dwell	J
In such an airless cell	J
Sniffing the sea winds from afar	K
Glimpsing the light of moon and star	K
	-
We must fare forth unsped	I
From homely board and bed	I
We must set sail for port unknown	L
On an uncharted course alone	L
	-
Push off We have to go	M
Whether we choose or no	M
The Call though faint and far away	N
Has reached us and we must obey	N
	-
	-
O but the night is dark	O
Beyond that only ark	O
The salt sea winds blow keen and cold	I
Outside the shelter of the fold	I
Boom of the deep sea swell	J
Solemn as funeral bell	J
Silence transcending sound to make	P
High courage falter and heart quake	P
	-
What will the voyage cost	I
We are already lost	I
Who turn from land and love to face	Q
This blank immensity of space	Q
	-
Push out We have to go	M
Whether we fear or no	M
And why stand shivering and appalled	I
We go because the Voice has called	I
	-
Noah's inspired dove	R
Took wing to find her love	R
The sea is His safe as the land	I
Within the hollow of His hand	I
	-
Here are the breakers pull	S
Before the boat is full	S
'Ware the sharp reefs that line the shore	F
Row for the open evermore	F
	-
	-
O but the night is dark	O
Never the faintest spark	O
Where surf and shore and cities were	T
And not a whisper in the air	U
	-
The open heart of grace	Q
It is a lonely place	Q
No light on any onward track	V
Too far too late for turning back	V
	-
Where is that little ark	O
Those candles in the dark	O
The Rock of Ages cleft for me	D
The Cross uprising in the sea	D
	-
Whereto the drowning grope	W
With yearning faith and hope	W
And cling as to their mother's breast	I
And find safe shelter and sweet rest	I
	-
Gone gone for ever gone	X
And still we must press on	Y
Steady true soul too brave to fret	I
Press on we are not drowning yet	I
	-
	-
	-
The night is soft and still	Z
That was so wild and chill	Z
The bosom of the mighty deep	A2
Breathes like a tired child asleep	A2
	-
So peaceful so profound	I
The silence spread around	I
The very breakers of the shore	F
Moan to the listening ear no more	F
	-
Night but the stars are out	I
Darkness of dread and doubt	I
The way so lonely and so rough	B2
Have cleared a little but enough	B2
	-
We know not where we are	K
Light cannot reach so far	K
But shows us we have lost and gained	I
As the compelling Voice ordained	I
	-
Gone gone beyond recall	E
Candle and prisoning wall	E
Last echo of the hue and cry	C2
Last glint of an accusing eye	C2
	-
Too late for looking back	V
Over the darkening track	V
How should the life taught soul return	D2
That cannot unlive or unlearn	D2
	-
	-
	-
Changed changed for ever changed	I
Since hitherward we ranged	I
To vision in a space so vast	I
All the perspectives of the past	I
	-
How infinitely small	E
The once so broad and tall	E
The aims the pursuit and the strife	E2
Shut in the sheltered grooves of life	E2
	-
Those terrifying laws	F2
The wrangles and the wars	G2
Of church with church and state with state	I
The things men love the things men hate	I
	-
Money and gauds and fame	H2
And neighbours' scorn and blame	H2
The passion of desire and haste	I
To gather to possess to waste	I
	-
How infinitely high	C2
Broad as the sea and sky	C2
The loyalty of man to man	D2
Once almost missing from the plan	D2
	-
The elemental law	I2
That codes and creeds ignore	F
Of duty to the trust we hold	I
For heirs unborn and years untold	I
	-
	-
Night and the drifting soul	J2
Still without path or goal	J2
Yet was the voyage worth the cost	I
We are not drowned We are not lost	I
'T'is I Be not afraid	I
Moonlight and stars may fade	I
One walks the ocean and the night	I
We have no further need of light	I
	-
What matters where we go	M
We do not ask to know	M
He called us and we came The quest	I
For us is ended and we rest	I
