| Text: | Little Ships |
| Author: | Alice Jean Cleator |
| Tune: | [We're little ships that sail away] |
| Composer: | Florence W. Williams |
1 We’re little ships that sail away,
O’er life’s great sea so wide
We’re sailing, sailing day by day,
And Jesus is our guide.
Refrain:
Sailing, sailing,
O’er life’s sea so wide—
Sailing, sailing day by day,
And Jesus is our guide.
2 We fear not ocean’s angry might;
No harm can us betide,
We’re sailing to a haven bright,
And Jesus is our guide. [Refrain]
3 Tho’ small our ships—though wild the blast,
Though deep the sea and wide,
We’ll anchor safe in Heav’n at last,
For Jesus is our guide. [Refrain]
