Send Me a Life-boat

Author: Lizzie Scott Bushey Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Oh Father, send me a lifeboat Lyrics: 1 Oh Father, send me a life-boat, Of love so full and free, To safely sail the sea of life, When dangers threaten me; Sustain me, Lord, in the tempest, When darkness hides my star, Then rough winds they will bear me home, Thro’ the beautiful gates ajar. 2 Oh Father, thou in whose mercy, Heeds e’en the sparrow’s fall, Oh save, dear Lord, I perish, for The breakers drown my call; Oh Father, send me a life-boat Of love upon life’s sea; And take me home to heav’n on high, Thro’ the beautiful gates ajar. 3 Oh take me out of the darkness, To mansions fair above, Where angels sing the glad new song, And all is peace and love; Oh Father, send me a life-boat From shores across the sea; Let angel sailors guide my boat, Thro’ the beautiful gates ajar.
