While on the sea hear the terrible roaring;
See how the boat of my life rolls with me;
In fear of death and in deepest of anguish.
Lord hear my prayer; watch my soul on the sea
Save me, O merciful Father, forgive me;
How as my life with its ending I see.
My youthful strength has been spent in the battle.
Lord now I beg you have mercy on me.
I have no strength left to aid on my journey;
Help me to reach that fair land past the sea:
Help me to travel to my native country.
Lord now I beg You, have mercy on me.
Lord now I beg You, have mercy on me,
