   O God, he prayed if it be thou.
   Who call us all to thee.
   I pray, that thou will send us aid.
   Upon this cruel sea.

   Some bitter tears will flow.

   Along with the engineer.
   Far from their homes, they now must roam.
   Where none can hear their call
   Where every man is for himself
   And God above for all.
