Representative Text

1 Sailor, on life’s surging sea,
Let the Saviour pilot thee,
Danger hovers o’er the deep,
Where the storm winds wildly sweep.

Refrain:
Let the Saviour pilot thee,
Let the Saviour pilot thee,
Sailor, on life’s surging sea,
Let the Saviour pilot thee.

2 When before thee all is dark,
Let the Saviour steer thy bark,
Thro’ the black, appalling night
He will bring thee into light. [Refrain]

3 When the skies are bright and fair,
Still invoke the Saviour’s care,
Unknown perils oft are near
When there seemeth naught to fear. [Refrain]

4 On the ever-changing tide,
Let the Saviour be thy guide,
To the haven of the soul,
Where on angry billows roll. [Refrain]
