Chapter_159

O God, who hast given

the sea and the sky,

To fish and to bird

for a dwelling to keep,

Both sons of the waters,

one low and one high,

Ambitious of heaven,

yet sunk in the deep;

Save, Lord, Thy servants,

whom Thou hast new made

In a laver of blood,

lest they trespass and die;

Lest pride should elate,

or the flesh should degrade,

And they stumble on earth,

or be dizzied on high.

To the Father and Son

And the Spirit be done,

Now and always,

Glory and praise.
