We Praise Thee Oh Lord, Defending Us From The Waves Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
We Praise Thee Oh Lord, Defending Us From The Waves
And should I reassure
Those who without conscience
Leave us to endure
Random and brutal
The exigencies we never expect.
Hearing the drowning cries
Where men are deaf
How can we be bereft
I think God is proved more pure by their exit
Coming to defend us from the oncoming waves
And fiercer yet
Defending us from being left alone.
