We Were Crowded In The Cabin

Author: James T. Fields, 1817-1881 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12998 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 We were crowded in the cabin, Not a soul would dare to sleep, It was midnight on the waters, And storm was on the deep. 2 ’Tis a fearful thing in winter, To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet, Thunder, "Cut away the mast." 3 So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath, While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with death. 4 As thus we sat in darkness, Each one busy in his prayers, "We are lost!" the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs. 5 But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand, "Isn’t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?" 6 Then we kissed the little maiden, And we spoke in better cheer, And we anchored safe in harbor, Where the morn was shining clear.
