With His old time gracious pow’r;
Only do His will, He is with us still;
Blessings brighten ev’ry hour.
Blessings brighten ev’ry hour.

Launch out! Launch out into the deep!
Launch out! Launch out into the deep!
Though the billows sweep,
He will guide and keep;
Launch out! Launch out into the deep!

Now the Master’s word obey;
With a willing mind, larger service find,
Launching further out today.
Launching further out today. [Refrain]

“Cast your nets,” and treasure gain;
Speed your vessel on, jewels will be won;
Everlasting joys obtain.
Everlasting joys obtain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Trust, and be of cheer, for the Lord is near]
Launch Out!
