30. The Ocean of His Fulness

1 I am out on the ocean of his fullness,
Riding safe on the billows of his love;
Gentle winds waft me onward as I journey
To the blessed port of heav’n above.

Refrain:
I am out on the ocean of his fullness,
Sweeping on to join the happy throng,
Who with loud, triumphant voice are filling
Heaven’s arches with redemption’s song.

2 I am out on the ocean of his fullness,
Far beyond every treach’rous reef and bar;
And with Jesus my Saviour as the pilot,
I shall soon see the harbor lights afar. [Refrain]

3 I am out on the ocean of his fullness,
Where no storms of temptation can o’ercome;
For the chart and the compass which he gives me,
Closely followed, at last will bring me home. [Refrain]
