Pearls of Praise ‎#78

78. Your Pilot's at the Wheel

1 O sailor, on life’s troubled sea,
Why should you fear the storm?
The shore’s in view where you will be
Safe from all dread alarm.

Refrain:
Then never fear the billows’ roar,
Nor danger ever feel;
You’ll safely reach the golden shore,
Your pilot’s at the wheel.

2 O sailor, trust your all to him,
Nor heed the robbing wave;
Look up, tho’ skies be dark and dim,
And trust the Lord to save. [Refrain]

3 O sailor, see your shining light,
The port is drawing near;
And loved ones robed in purest white
Await your coming there. [Refrain]
