Sweet Sacrament of peace, Dear home for every heart, Where restless yearnings cease And sorrows all depart; There in thine ear all trustfully We tell our tale of misery: Sweet Sacrament of peace. 3. Sweet Sacrament of rest, Ark from the oceans roar, Within thy shelter blest Soon may we reach the shore; Save us, for still the tempest raves, Save, lest we sink beneath the waves: Sweet Sacrament of rest. 4. Sweet Sacrament divine, Earths light and jubilee, In thy far depths doth shine The Godheads majesty; Sweet light, so shine on us, we pray That earthly joys may fade away: Sweet Sacrament divine.
