Kahm Kahm hahn Bom Sanaoon / Lonely the Boat

1.  Lonely the boat, sailing at sea, tossed on a cold, stormy
night;
    Cruel the sea which seemed so wide, with waves so high.
    This single ship sailed the deep sea, straight into the gale;
    O Lord, great is the peril, dangers do all assail.

2.  Strong winds arose in all their rage, tossing the tiny lone
boat;
    Waves billowing high, tossing the boat, lost and afloat.
    The sailor stood all alone, wondering what to do;
    O Lord, so helpless was he, wondering what to do.

3.  Trembling with fear, deep in despair, looking for help all
around,
    The sailor saw light from above. "Help can be found;
    My God is here in my small boat, standing by my side;
    O I trust in the Savior; now in my life abide.

4.  "Pleading for Your mercy, O Lord, even a sinner like me;
    Command, O Lord, calm to the sea, as in Galilee!
    Please save my life from all danger, grant a peaceful life;
    O please be merciful, Lord, in times of calm and strife.

5.  "Storms in our lives, cruel and cold, surely will arise again,
    Threatening lives, threatening us on life's wild sea.
    Powerful and great, God's hand is there, firmly in control.
    O Lord, calm peace comes from You, peace comes to my lone soul."
