Representative Text

1 Safe to land my Lord will guide me,
In the dark I fear no ill;
Tho’ the storms and woes betide me,
His dear arm is round me still.

Refrain:
Safe to land, safe to land,
Jesus guides tho’ billows roar;
Safe to land, safe to land,
We will reach that peaceful shore.

2 My frail bark he’s safely steering,
He has sailed in storms before;
I can trust him, nothing fearing,
Safe with him I’ll reach the shore. [Refrain]

3 On the helm a hand is resting,
That is stronger far than mine;
Tho’ deep billows I am breasting,
I can trust in love divine. [Refrain]

4 In the Rock of Ages hiding,
Oh, how sweet our rest will be!
Faith, and love, and hope abiding,
As we sail o’er life’s dark sea. [Refrain]
