Author: Philip P. Bliss Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5879 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Sailor, though the darkness gathers Refrain First Line: Sailing into port, what matter Lyrics: 1. Sailor, though the darkness gathers,
Though the cold waves surge and moan,
Trust thy bark to God’s great mercy,
Falter not; sail on, sail on.
Refrain
Sailing into port, what matter,
Drooping sail or shattered mast?
Glory, glory fills the harbor,
There we’ll anchor safe at last.
2. Sailor, though with streamers flying,
Yonder proud ship mounts the foam,
And with bands of music playing,
Gains the port and welcome home. [Refrain]
3. Sailor, though the lightning flashes,
Though thy sails be rent and torn,
Peace shall come on hope’s bright pinions,
And deliverance with the morn. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SAILING
