Author: Dr. E. H. Dewart, 1828-1903 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out on life's dark heaving ocean,
Winds and waves around us rave;
In the tempest's wild commotion,
Friend of sinners, shield and save!
Vain are all our weak endeavours
Thou our Guide and Helper be!
Star of hope! in danger cheer us;
Help can only come from Thee.
2 When the storms of fierce temptation
Wildly sweep across our way,
And the night of fear and sorrow
Quenches every starry ray,
Let Thy presence, great Redeemer,
Banish all our guilty fear;
And the joy of Thy salvation
Every fainting spirit cheer.
3 When the mists of doubt and passion
Hide the reefs and shoals from sight,
God of Love, protect and save us!
Be our Refuge and our Light;
Be our sure, unerring Pilot,
Guide us safely to the shore,
Where the waves of sin and sorrow
Beat upon the soul no more. Topics: Doubt; Sea Evening Hymn at; Star Of Hope; Doubt; Sea Evening Hymn at; Star Of Hope; Christ Stilling the Tempest; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Man Of Sorrows; Temptation; Sailors' Hymns (See also under "Sea") Used With Tune: BITHYNIA
