Speed Thy Servants Saviour Speed Them

Verse 1

Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them;
Thou art Lord of winds and waves;
They were bound, but thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves:

Be thou with them, 'Tis thine arm alone that save.
'Tis thine arm alone that saves.

Verse 2

Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Then their sinking hopes sustain:

Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.

Verse 3

In the midst of opposition
Let them trust, O Lord, in thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let thy servants humbler be:

Never leave them
Till thy face in heav'n they see.
Never leave them
Till thy face in heav'n they see.

Verse 4

There to reap in joy forever,
Fruit that grows from seed here sown
There to be with him who never Ceases to preserve His
own; And with gladness, Give the praise to Him alone
