4 A VOICE, CHORUS A VOICE, CHORUS PART ON E singing - As the passing hour was good So will the doming hour be better And yet it may prove hard Or worse, if God so wishes. - Blessed be the hour which saw the Saviour’s birth And Mary who bore him And John who baptised him May the Saviour grant us a calm night May the Saviour grant us a calm voyage May the Saviour grant us a calm crossing. singing - By now the horizon hides the Canaries We are sailing unchartered seas May God be with us on this voyage. It is the unchartered sea The rending, sundering sea Which for countless days and nights Rules our destinies at will. What were we? Entombed in the galleys We lived in desolate misery; In impiety we lived In hatred and in crime; we lived in slavery. Merciful son Set us free from slavery! Under your rule of ruthlessness! What will be our fate! Can hope be our m$te Or a messenger of death? What will be our fate?
