Each shell a little perfect thing | B |
So frail yet potent to withstand | A |
The mountain waves' wild buffeting | B |
Through storms no ship could dare to brave | C |

All that they might have lost of fine | D |
Shape and soft colour crystalline | D |

Yet I amid the world's wild surge | E |
Doubt if my soul can face the strife | F |
The waves of circumstance that urge | E |
That slight ship on the rocks of life | F |
O soul be brave for He who saves | G |
The frail shell in the giant waves | G |
Will bring thy puny bark to land | A |
Safe in the hollow of His hand | A |
