Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #175 (1900) First Line: Since I found that faith in Jesus Refrain First Line: Farther out upon the ocean Lyrics: 1 Since I found that faith in Jesus
Saves from sin, and sweetly saves,
Heart and soul have join’d in crying,
“Farther out upon the waves.”
Chorus:
Farther out upon the ocean
Of God’s wondrous love and grace;
“Farther out” shall be my watchword
Till I meet him face to face.
2 There’s no safety for my vessel
Where the breakers dash and roar,
But I find the smoothest water
Farther out, away from shore, [Chorus]
3 Here the sunlight falls from heaven,—
All is peace within, without,
While each day celestial breezes
Drive my vessel farther out. [Chorus]
4 Tho’ life’s storms may sweep around me,
In my soul I sing and shout,
For I know that ev’ry tempest
Will but drive me farther out. [Chorus]
5 Farther out, till I have safely
Reached that land across the foam,
Farther out, till I have anchored
In the soul’s eternal home. [Chorus]
