Queen of the Waves

[2] The Sisters of Charity recorded an audio CD titled Queen of the Waves: Centennial Remembrance of The Great Storm of 1900 available for purchase or free download.

[3] Queen of the Waves, look forth across the ocean From north to south, from east to stormy west, See how the waters with tumultuous motion Rise up and foam without a pause or rest.

But fear we not, tho' storm clouds round us gather, Thou art our Mother and thy little Child Is the All Merciful, our loving Brother God of the sea and of the tempest wild.

Up to thy shrine we look and see the glimmer Thy votive lamp sheds down on us afar; Light of our eyes, oh let it ne'er grow dimmer, Till in the sky we hail the morning star.

Then joyful hearts shall kneel around thine altar And grateful psalms re-echo down the nave; Never our faith in thy sweet power can falter, Mother of God, our Lady of the Wave.
