Almighty God, Who from the Flood

 

VERSE 1

Almighty God, who from the flood

Didst bring to light a twofold brood;

Part in the firmament to fly,

And part in ocean’s depths to lie;

 

VERSE 2

Appointing fishes in the sea,

And fowls in open air to be,

That each, by origin the same,

Its separate dwelling place might claim:

 

VERSE 3

Grant that Thy servants, by the tide

Of blood and water purified,

No guilty fall from Thee may know,

Nor death eternal undergo.

 

VERSE 4

Be none submerged in sin’s distress,

None lifted up in boastfulness;

That contrite hearts be not dismayed,

Nor naughty souls in ruin laid.

 

VERSE 5

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ Thine only Son;

Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.
