O Lord, be with us when we sail

Author: E. A. Dayman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Travellers by Sea or Land; Travellers by Sea or Land Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 2 We need not fear, though all around 'Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, The ocean and the land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. 4 As when on blue Gennesareth Rose high the angry wave, And Thy disciples quailed in dread, One word of Thine could save; 5 So when the fiercer storms arise From man's unbridled will, Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts To whisper "Peace be still." 6 If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon's roar; 7 Be Thou the mainquard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. 8 Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. Amen. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. A-men. 4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me! 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen, Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: Travellers Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. 3 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth, That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light! 4 To the Father's glory Loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise; To the Lord almighty, Blessèd Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph Forward into light! Used With Tune: FORWARD (SMART)
