1 Hold to the helm, sailor, when the skies are clear, Hold more firmly when the storms appear; Begin the watch ere you leave the shores of youth, And always keep hold of the helm of truth. Chorus: Hold to the helm, hold to the helm, Hold to the guiding helm of truth; Hold to the helm on the sunny seas of youth, And all through the voyage let us hold to the truth. 2 Thousands have launched on the changeful sea of life Who have perished in the awful strife; Thousands today flaunt abroad profession sail, But where is the helm for the fearful gale? [Chorus] 3 Greater the danger, the broader flies the sail, Trusting this alone, you're sure to fail; Signal the lifeboat before the waves o'erwhelm, And ask for the Bible, the guiding helm. [Chorus] | The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book: for use in divine worship #1301 (1886) |
