Author: Rev. W. W. Rand Hymnal: Calvary Songs #89 (1875) First Line: The sea is wildly tossing Refrain First Line: Over the sea, over the sea, gracious Savior, pilot me Lyrics: 1 The sea is wildly tossing, And often clothed with gloom, On which we're swiftly crossing To our eternal home. Refrain: Over the sea, over the sea, Gracious Saviour, pilot me; Over the sea, over the sea, Spirit kind, my guardian be; Over the sea, wherever I roam, Father above, Oh, bring me home, Under the bright celestial dome. 2 We've many a foe to conquer, And many a storm to face, Ere we in heaven may anchor, And sing redeeming grace. [Refrain] 3 Though nature in commotion Defy our power and skill, Our Jesus rules the ocean, And bids the winds be still. [Refrain] 4 Sail on then, comrades, boldly, And make God's word your chart; Do every duty nobly, With joyful, trusting heart. [Refrain] 5 We'll float the gospel banner, And guard it with our life, And shout at last, "Hosanna," Victorious in the strife. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The sea is wildly tossing]
