Resignation

1 I stood face to face with a sorrow,
That threatened my bark to o'erwhelm,
But peace floated in on the morrow,
My Father was guiding the helm.

Refrain:
My Father was guiding the helm,
My Father was guiding the helm,
But peace floated in on the morrow,
My Father was guiding the helm.

2 I rode o'er a tempest-rock'd billow,
Which threatened my life to o'erwhelm,
But I sweetly slept on my pillow,
My Father was guiding the helm. [Refrain]

3 O'er my soul death's shadows were creeping,
That threatened my faith to o'erwhelm,
But the angels, a vigil were keeping,
My Father was guiding the helm. [Refrain]
