Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK MNLNOPLP LKLKQBRB LSLS| I see the wild and dashing waves | A |
| Break madly on the shore | B |
| With glee I watch their stately course | C |
| With joy I hear their roar | B |
| The howling of the wildest storm | D |
| The shrieking of the gull | E |
| Drive quickly all of pain away | F |
| And all my fears they lull | E |
| - | |
| I join my feeble voice with theirs | G |
| Triumphant in its yell | H |
| For evil powers of earth I scorn | I |
| And all the pow'rs of hell | H |
| Tho' men and devils both unite | J |
| And all their force combine | K |

| Can whisper to all hostile pow'rs | L |
| As to you Peace be still | N |
| He bends your necks like osiers green | O |
| Also the necks of men | P |
| Therefore with you I raise my voice | L |
| And shout aloud again | P |
| - | |
| For you are on my side ye waves | L |
| And you ye winds are mine | K |
| If I but cast off worldly cares | L |
| If I my will resign | K |
| Then let me feel what I have felt | Q |
| Full oft in days of yore | B |
| A fearful joyous pulse of life | R |
| Thrill through me at your roar | B |
| - | |
| Let me fling on your crests ye waves | L |
| My loads of heavy woe | S |
| And on your wings ye howling winds | L |
| My cares and sorrows throw | S |
