Father Is At The Wheel
Author: J. W. Stockton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16248 First Line: A ship in wind and storm was tossed Lyrics:
1 A ship in wind and storm was tossed,
The sea ran o’er the deck;
It seemed that all was surely lost,
The vessel soon a wreck;
A boy stood calm, as he was asked
If fear he did not feel;
When straightway came the answer bold,
"My Father’s at the wheel."
Refrain:
Father is at the wheel,
Father is at the wheel;
I fear no storm or tempest wave,
While Father’s at the wheel.
2 And as we pass through life, we meet
Sad sorrow’s gloomy hour;
Faith gives us strength to rise above
The threatening clouds that lower;
And when our bark seems almost lost,
These words our woes can heal:
"Our ship is safe, though tempest tossed,
While Father’s at the wheel." [Refrain]
3 There was a time when angry waves
Dashed fiercely o’er my bark;
I cried for help to Him who saves,
Throughout the night so dark;
But now when clouds and gales arise,
And heavy thunders peal—
A calm pervades my trusting heart,
While Father’s at the wheel. [Refrain]

===============
Stockton, John Hart. (New Hope, Pennsylvania, April 19, 1813--March 25, 1877). Born of Presbyterian parents, he was converted at a Methodist camp meeting in 1838, being received into full membership in the New Jersey Conference in 1857. Because of ill health he twice took the "supernumerary relations." He withdrew from actual pastoral work in 1874 and engaged in compiling and publishing gospel hymn books, issuing Salvation Melodies that year and Precious Songs in 1875, writing both words and music for a number of the songs. He died suddenly after attending a Sunday morning service at Arch Street Church, Philadelphia. Our Hymnody, McCutchan, has, perhaps, the fullest account of him readily available.
