1 Oh Great Sea!

Oh, Great Sea!

Are you really so troubled?

To see your waves crash against the rocks,

To see the great gales bash the fishermen.

Oh, Great Sea!

Are you so unforgiving?

Do you not bend to the Commands of God?

To see my Lord upon your waters,

To know faith and believe its power.

Oh, Great Sea!

Have you never given up your dead?

Have you taken life without cause?

To see the bones of my brothers,

To see their souls lifted to heaven.

Oh, Great Sea!

Should you be feared?

To see the land I walk, bisected by the sea,

To see the air I breathe, stopped by the sea.
