elf shall prove
To those whom Christ doth number
As worthy of His love.

The tune "Morlaix," given to the hymn by Dr. Dykes, is simple, but a
very sweet and appropriate harmony.

"FIERCE RAGED THE TEMPEST ON THE DEEP."

This fine lyric, based on the incident in the storm on the Sea of
Galilee, is the work of the same writer and owes its tune "St. Aelred"
to the same composer.

The melody has an impressive rallentando of dotted semibreves to the
refrain, "Peace, be still," after the more rapid notes of the three-line
stanzas.

The wild winds hushed, the angry deep
Sank like a little child to sleep,
The sullen waters ceased to leap.

* * * * *

So when our life is clouded o'er
And storm-winds drift us from the shore
Say, lest we sink to rise no more,
"Peace! be still."

"PULL FOR THE SHORE."

When a shipwrecked crew off a rocky coast were hurrying to the
long-boat, a sailor begged leave to run back to the ship's forecastle
and save some of his belongings.

"No sir," shouted the Captain, "she's sinking! There's nothing to do but
to pull for the shore." Philip P. Bliss caught up the words, and wrought
them into a hymn and tune.

Light in the darkness, sailor, day is at hand!
See o'er the foaming billows fair Haven's land;
Drear was the voyage, sailor, now almost o'er;
Safe in the life-boat, sailor, pull for the shore!

CHORUS.
Pull for the shore, sailor, pull for the shore!
Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar;
Safe in the life-boat, sailor, cling to self no more;
Leave the poor old stranded wreck and pull for the shore!

The hymn-tune is a buoyant allegro--solo and chorus--full of hope and
courage, and both imagery and harmony appeal to the hearts of seamen. It
is popular, and has long been one of the song numbers in demand at
religious services both on sea and land.

"JESUS, SAVIOUR, PILOT ME."

The Rev. Edward Hopper, D.D. wrote this hymn while pastor of Mariner's
Church at New York harbor, "The Church of the Sea and Land." He was born
in 1818, and graduated at Union Theological Seminary in 1843.

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea,
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!

Only three stanzas of this rather lengthy hymn are in common use.
