A Sea-Song

Savior, on the sea of life

Be Thou my Beacon bright

To warn me of the rocks of strife

That lurk just out of sight.

~

Be Thou my Anchor, Lord I pray

That I may stady stand

Trusting in Thee by night, by day

Held firm in Thy steadfast hand.

~

Be Thou my Compass and my Chart

To guide me on my way,

For as Thou dwellest in my heart

Thy word shall be my stay.

~

And when my course is set, dear Lord,

Do Thou my mainsail fill

-For no sailing ship could e'er afford

To sail 'gainst the wind's strong will.

~

Yea, Savior, on the sea of life,

Be Thou my captain, crew,

Yea, every part command and be

my life, the ocean, too!
