1 When upon life's rolling ocean,
Fraught with danger is the trip;
Do not fear 'mid the commotion,
Jesus never leaves the ship.

Chorus:
Put your trust in your commander,
Not a foot on board shall slip;
In yon port He'll safely land her,
Jesus never leaves the ship.

2 When the waves are dashing o'er her,
Do not fear tho' she may dip;
Better skies yet lie before her,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]

3 O look up, why are ye fearful?
Why look down with trembling lip?
Dry your eyes now sad and tearful,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]

4 Oft the vessel we must lighten,
From all worldly things must strip;
Then we'll find as the skies brighten,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]

5 Sinner come and sail for Heaven,
Have no fears about the trip;
All on board to Him are given,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]
Light in the Valley: a new work of great merit for the Sunday school, revivals, Christian Endeavor, Epworth League, young people's society, and all forward movement along the line of battle... #195 (1898)
