Life Line
Author: Laura E. Newell Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We are out upon life’s ocean Refrain First Line: The Life Line, the Life Line Lyrics: 1 We are out upon life’s ocean,
Oft the waves run rough and wild;
But the Savior is our pilot,
And he gives each trusting child.
Refrain:
The Life Line, the Life Line,
Oh, grasp it, come what may,
And trust him, our pilot,
Whose word endures for aye, for aye.
Refrain:
Oh, brother, the Life Line,
Now grasp it with your might,
’Twill guide you to heaven,
Beyond the storm and night, and night.
2 When the morn shall dawn in splendor,
And our barque is borne along
’Neath the cloudless skies serenely,
As we lift our hearts in song. [Refrain]
3 Or if tempests burst in fury,
And the storms sweep madly by;
Lo! an anchor rests securely,
Where no clouds obscure the sky. [Refrain]
4 We approach the port celestial,
And his word, our staff and guide,
Will direct us past the breakers,
To the home beyond the tide. [Refrain] Scripture: John 10:28 Used With Tune: [We are out upon life’s ocean]

Laura E. Newell
1854 - 1916 Author of "Life Line" in Pearls of Praise Born: February 5, 1854, New Marlborough, Connecticut.
Died: October 13, 1916, Manhattan, Kansas.
Daughter of Mr. and Edward A. Pixley, but orphaned as an infant, Laura was adopted by her aunt, then Mrs. Hiram Mabie, who at the time lived in New York. In 1858, the Mabie family moved to a farm south of where Wamego, Kansas, now stands. Two years after the move, Mr. Mabie died, and his wife resumed teaching.
In 1860, Mrs. Mabie accepted a position in Topeka, Kansas, where she taught many years. Under her tutelage, Laura received her education. As early as age 12, Laura was writing rhymes, and two years later her poems began to appear in local newspapers. She had no thought of a literary career; she simply wrote to give vent to her poetical mind.
In 1871, Laura married Lauren Newell, a carpenter from Manhattan, Kansas. They had at least six children, and belonged to the Congregational denomination.
In 1873, Laura was listening to an address by a speaker who lamented the death of "genuine" hymns, and she resolved to try her hand in that line of work. That began a long period of writing songs, sacred and secular, services for all anniversary occasions, cantatas, adapting words to music, and music to words.
"Mrs. Newell is indeed a prolific writer. Her poems number in the thousands. She has had over eight hundred poems published in a single year, a most remarkable record. The great ease with which Mrs. Newell writes is one of her special gifts. Not long since an order, accompanied by music and titles, was sent her for eight poems to suit. At seven o’clock in the evening she sat down to her organ to catch the music. Then she went to her desk, and at ten o’clock the order was ready for the return mail. Her work pleased the publisher so well that he sent her an order for forty-eight additional poems. Mrs. Newell writes several hundred poems annually.
She is a very modest and unpretentious lady, and goes about her daily work as cheerfully as her poems advise others to do. The deeply religious character of the woman stands out boldly in nearly all her work. The next world is apparently as real to her as the present. Her heart is in her work, and to the end of life’s chapter, while able, may she wield her pen to tell the Story to dear to her heart, in verse and song." Hall, pp. 316-17
