They that go down to the sea in ships (Psalm 107:23-30) – Herbert Sumsion Posted on November 10, 2013 Posted in Sumsion, Herbert (1899-1995) English: Ship In A Storm (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Psalm 107:23-30 [see slightly different music text from the Book of Common Prayer] 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. — They that go down to the sea in ships (1979), composed by Herbert Sumsion (1899-1995) Herbert Sumsion: They that go down to the seaWatch this video on YouTube Performed by Roden Boys Choir (NL) / Director: Rintje te Wies / Organist: Sietze de Vries SHEET MUSIC They that Go Down to the Sea in Ships by Herbert Sumsion (1899-1995).
