The New Christian Hymnal ‎#393

393. In the Good Ship of Our Captain

1. In the good ship of our Captain
We are sailing o'er life's sea —
Pilgrims to a better haven,
Heirs to heav'n's felicity.

Chorus:
E'en tho' the clouds sweep fast and wild,
And breaking billows roar,
We're safe with Jesus at the helm
To pilot us to shore!

2. See the gospel banner floating
From our topmast o'er the waves;
Sinner, read its gen'rous offer:
"Come, find refuge, Jesus saves." [Chorus]

3. Faith and prayer and strong devotion
To our Pilot at the helm,
Calm our fears and urge us onward,
Steadily to heaven's realm. [Chorus]

4. Just beyond the surging breakers
Looms the land of peace and rest;
Few more days, and we are welcomed
In the haven of the blest. [Chorus]
