| When in the mid sea of the night | B |
| I waken at thy call O Lord | C |
| The first that troop my bark aboard | C |
| Are darksome imps that hate the light | B |
| Whose tongues are arrows eyes a blight | B |
| Of wraths and cares a pirate horde | C |
| Though on the mid sea of the night | B |
| It was thy call that waked me Lord | C |
| - | |
| Then I must to my arms and fight | B |
| Catch up my shield and two edged sword | C |
| The words of him who is thy word | D |
| Nor cease till they are put to flight | B |
| Then in the mid sea of the night | B |
| I turn and listen for thee Lord | C |

| There comes no voice from thee O Lord | C |
| Across the mid sea of the night | B |
| I lift my voice and cry with might | B |
| If thou keep silent soon a horde | C |
| Of imps again will swarm aboard | C |
| And I shall be in sorry plight | B |
| If no voice come from thee my Lord | C |
| Across the mid sea of the night | B |
| - | |
| There comes no voice I hear no word | D |
| But in my soul dawns something bright | B |
| There is no sea no foe to fight | B |
| Thy heart and mine beat one accord | C |
| I need no voice from thee O Lord | C |
| Across the mid sea of the night | B |
