Text: | Sailing O'er Life's Ocean |
Tune: | [We’re a faithful pilgrim band] |
Composer: | R. A. Glenn |
1 We’re a faithful pilgrim band,
Sailing to the heav’nly land;
With a swelling sail we onward sweep;
Though the tempest rages long,
There is One among the throng
Who will guide the sailors o’er the deep.
Refrain:
We are sailing o’er the ocean,
We are drifting with the tide;
Soon the storms will all be over,
And we’ll safely reach the other side.
2 Tho’ the rolling billows swell,
Yet securely we may dwell;
Though the breakers roar upon the lea,
’Mid the storm by day or night,
If we trust our Captain’s might,
He will guide us safely o’er the sea. [Refrain]
3 Tho’ for many ages past,
She has long withstood the blast,
And in safety crossed the billows o’er;
Yet, amid the rocks and shoals,
She has landed many souls
On fair Canaan’s bright and peaceful shore. [Refrain]
