<p>Speed Thy servants, Savior, speed them;<br>
Thou art Lord of winds and waves;<br>
They were bound, but Thou hast freed them;<br>
Now they go to free the slaves:<br>
Be Thou with them, &#8217;tis Thine arm alone that saves.<br>
Be Thou with them, &#8217;tis Thine arm alone that saves.</p>
<p>Friends, and home, and all forsaking,<br>
Lord they go at Thy command,<br>
As their stay Thy promise taking,<br>
While they traverse sea and land:<br>
O be with them; lead them safely by the hand.<br>
O be with them; lead them safely by the hand.</p>
<p>When they reach the land of strangers,<br>
And the prospect dark appears,<br>
Nothing seen but toils and dangers,<br>
Nothing felt but doubts and fears,<br>
Be Thou with them, hear their sighs and count their tears.<br>
Be Thou with them, hear their sighs and count their tears.</p>
<p>When no fruit appears to cheer them,<br>
And they seem to toil in vain,<br>
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,<br>
Then their sinking hopes sustain:<br>
Thus supported, let their zeal revive again.<br>
Thus supported, let their zeal revive again.</p>
<p>In the midst of opposition<br>
Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee;<br>
When success attends their mission,<br>
Let Thy servants humbler be:<br>
Never leave them till Thy face in heav&#8217;n they see.<br>
Never leave them till Thy face in heav&#8217;n they see.</p>
<p>There to reap in joy forever,<br>
Fruit that grows from seed here sown;<br>
There to be with Him, Who never<br>
Ceases to preserve His own;<br>
And with gladness give the praise to Him alone.<br>
And with gladness give the praise to Him alone.</p>
