He crossed great reaches soft with heat, Where coral cities slept below, And forests rose like living walls Through which no mapped directions go. And when the crew would name his skill, He only turned his gaze aside, And spoke as one who borrows wind To pass through places far and wide. [Chorus] The deepest waters speak no boast, The highest heavens seek no praise; Blessed is the soul that receives the world With thankful eyes and lifted gaze. [Verse] One night the sky went iron-black, No seam of heaven left in view; The masts bent low as if in prayer, The ship was driven, torn, and true. He called the reef-bound channel known By mark of foam and shifting sound, And held course steady through the roar Till morning found them safe and sound. Yet when they spoke of steadfast hand, He looked toward the breaking light, And spoke of how the sea itself Had spared them through the stormy night. [Chorus] The deepest waters speak no boast, The highest heavens seek no praise; Blessed is the soul that does its part Yet thanks the winds that help its way. [Verse] Three pirate sails came hard astern, Their lanterns red against the spray; He trimmed the course through hidden shoals Where wrecks had long forgotten day. He drew them toward a narrowing reach Where reef and current close the way; And there their chase dissolved in foam As hulls struck stone and broke away. But when they praised his turning mind, He thanked the reefs, the narrowing tide, And the channel that had been laid Long before any ship would ride. [Chorus] The deepest waters speak no boast, The highest heavens seek no praise; Blessed is the soul that masters much Yet thanks the shore that held the way. [Bridge] At times when harbour lights were still, And work was done, and ropes were tied, He stood where salt and night were one And watched the restless turning tide. He spoke not long of what he’d done, But of the coasts no chart can hold— The capes that break the northern mist, The islands wrapped in green and gold. [Chorus] The deepest waters speak no boast, The highest heavens seek no praise; Blessed is the soul that knows the world And still looks on with humble gaze.
