ALMIGHTY MOLOCH, STRONG TO SAVE

(Leland Bryant Ross)

"Almighty Moloch, strong to save,
Whose arm shall bind the restless wave..."
So all the sailors sing and moan,
Beseeching gods of wood and stone.
Yet all their prayers unanswered rise
To God, the LORD of seas and skies.

Part (between Jonah 1:7 and 1:8) of my "comic worship oratorio" Jonah was a prophet (minor), 1997, © Liland Brajant Ros'

The tune is MELITA, customarily used i.a. for Eternal Father, Strong to Save ("The Navy Hymn"); I'm sure you can get a MIDI from The Cyber Hymnal if you need one.
