One of my favorite hymn's is an old Ukrainian tune called "while on the sea." I used to have a hymnal with this song in it, I have since lent the hymnal to a church member who never came back. I can never find mention of this hymn by anything other than the title on google. I can never find the words. Can someone give me the words?
God Bless

I posted on his blog that you are looking for these lyrics with a link to your blog. Hopefully that will get it done.
While On The Sea – Translated by Stephen Bilak
While on the sea hear the terrible roaring;
See how the boat of my life rolls with me;
In fear of death and in deepest of anguish.
Lord, hear my prayer; watch my soul on the sea.
Save me, O merciful Father, forgive me;
How as my life with its ending I see.
My youthful strength has been spent in the battle.
Lord, now I beg You, have mercy on me.
I have no strength left to aid on my journey;
Help me to reach that fair land past the sea;
Help me to travel to my native country.
Lord now I beg You, have mercy on me.
This is one of my favorite favorite favorite songs. We have an old book with this in it and we are trying to teach it to our little congregation
Hello Anonymous and Justin,
I know you had posted this back in 2006 and it's now 2014. I was trying to find some background on this hymn as my husband is preaching a sermon in a week and using this hymn. We love this hymn, and there is only two men in our congregation that can lead this song in the right way my husband being one of them. He is preaching at another congregation that doesn't have a preacher next Sunday and is trying to teach them the hymn also. They heard it at our annual singing about three months ago and loved it.
Trying to find the words in Ukrainian/Russian with the song, "While on the Sea"...know where I can get it?
John
Thank you!
