Joseph Edwards Carpenter 1813- ? John Bartlett

    What are the wild waves saying,
  Sister, the whole day long,
That ever amid our playing
  I hear but their low, lone song?
          What are the wild Waves saying?

    Yes! but there’s something greater
  That speaks to the heart alone:
’T is the voice of the great Creator
  Dwells in that mighty tone.
          What are the wild Waves saying? Refrain.
