Thy Sea is Great Our Boats are Small and Other Hymns of To-Day (Henry vanDyke)
2438.Thy sea is great, our boats are small--and other hymns of today.docx
This is just a little work that I put found and was able to put together quickly, so just did it. I mostly did it because I love the writings of Henry vanDyke. I use author pictures as covers for my PBBs, so here is vanDykes

I'm afraid I was ignorant of the hymn until you mentioned it. I associated it with a fisherman's prayer.
Hyman G Rickover">
Admiral Rickover is buried in Section 5 at Arlington National Cemetery.[79] His first wife, Ruth Masters Rickover (1903–1972), is buried with him and the name of his second wife, Eleonore A. Bednowicz Rickover, whom he met and married while she was serving as a Commander in the Navy Nurse Corps, is also inscribed on his gravestone. He is survived by Robert Rickover, his sole son by his first wife, who today teaches the Alexander Technique.[80]
At Arlington, Rickover's burial site overlooks the John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame. Of note, it was Rickover who gave President Kennedy the old Breton fisherman’s prayer plaque, which states, "O God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small."[81] The plaque is displayed in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum as part of the Oval Office exhibit.[82]
