The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7729

7729. Who Will Our Pilot Be?

1. We sail along toward the harbor light,
Over the great life sea;
The breakers roar and the waves dash high,
Who will our pilot be?

Refrain
The Christ will our pilot be,
A wonderful guide is He;
So we’ll sail, sail sail!
Christ will our pilot be.

2. We sail along in the morning bright,
Happy and glad are we;
But still we ask, as the rocks draw near,
Who will our pilot be? [Refrain]

3. We sail along, there are shoals, they say,
Dangers from which to flee;
We face the storm with a heavy heart,
Who will our pilot be? [Refrain]
