Representative Text

1 Though the sea be raging stormy
And the wind blows fierce and loud,
Jesus Christ will be my refuge,
And I’ll reach the port at last.

Chorus:
We are out on the ocean sailing,
Homeward bound we swiftly glide;
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide.

2 Jordan’s billows all around me,
And the stormy tempest rage.
Jesus shall command the ocean
And give a homeward breeze. [Chorus]

3 Yonder comes the pilot angel,
Come to waft my spirit home.
Soon with angels I’ll be waiting,
With Moses and the Lamb. [Chorus]

4 Sonn I shall be in the kingdom,
Soon I shall outride the storm,
Soon with angels I’ll be happy,
Around my Father’s throne. [Chorus]

5 There the wind shall all be silent,
And the tempest never rage.
All the sailors that are faithful,
Shall meet to part no more. [Chorus]

6 There I shall see my mother,
There I’ll see my father too;
And with them I shall be happy,
And never part again. [Chorus]
