The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11046

11046. Hope Cheers Us On

1 Our journey lies across
A wide and dangerous sea,
With rolling billows tossed
On raging Galilee.

Refrain:
Hope cheers us on when storms arise,
Our anchor cast beyond the skies.

2 Though threatening waves assail
Our bark on every side,
The journey cannot fail
For Jesus rules the tide. [Refrain]

3 Our bark is moving on,
Though clouds and storms arise,
The compass points beyond,
To calm and peaceful skies. [Refrain]

4 The storms will soon be o’er,
Fair Canaan’s lands appear,
We get a glimpse of shore,
Our bark is drawing near. [Refrain]
