JESU bless oar slender boat, By the torrent swept along; Loud its threatening—let them not Drown the music of a song Breathed Thy mercy to implore, Where these troubled waters roar! Guide our bark among the waves; Through the surf our passage smooth; * Where the whirlpool frets and raves Let Thy love its anger soothe: All our hope is placed in Thee j Miserere Domini!.
