OUT upon the unknown deep, br Where the unheard oceans sound, br Where the unseen islands sleep,-- br Outward bound. br Following towards the silent west br O'er the horizon's curved rim,-- br Or to islands of the blest, br --He with me and I with him-- br Outward bound. br br Nothing but a speck we seem br In the waste of waters round, br Floating, floating like a dream,-- br Outward bound. br But within that tiny speck br Two brave hearts with one accord br Past all tumult, grief, and wreck, br Look up calm,--and praise the Lord,-- br Outward bound.
