If, On A Quiet Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDEDE FEFEF GHGHG

If on a quiet sea toward heaven we calmly sailA
With grateful hearts O God to TheeB
We ll own the favoring galeA
With grateful hearts O God to TheeB
We ll own the favoring galeA
-
But should the surges rise and rest delay to comeC
Blest be the tempest kind the stormD
Which drives us nearer homeE
Blest be the tempest kind the stormD
Which drives us nearer homeE
-
Soon shall our doubts and fears all yield to Thy controlF
Thy tender mercies shall illumeE
The midnight of the soulF
Thy tender mercies shall illumeE
The midnight of the soulF
-
Teach us in every state to make Thy will our ownG
And when the joys of sense departH
To live by faith aloneG
And when the joys of sense departH
To live by faith aloneG
