O Father, King of earth and sea,
We dedicate this sailor to thee.
In faith we send him on his way;
In faith to thee we humbly pray:
O hear from heaven the faithful cry
And watch and guard him from on high!
And when at length his course is run,
His work for home and country done,
Of all the souls that triumphantly sailed
Let not one life in thee have failed;
But hear from heaven as we say goodbye,
And grant eternal life on high!
