Author: D. B. T. Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 112:7 First Line: We are out upon an ocean Refrain First Line: Oh, we'll trust him, trust him ever Lyrics: 1 We are out upon an ocean,
We are far, far out from land,
And the billows' angry motion
Beat and drive us from the strand;
But our hope is in our Captain,
He the bark will steer aright;
So we'll journey on and trust him
Till we reach the "beacon light."
Chorus:
Oh, we'll trust him, trust him ever,
And we'll toil without a frown,
For his love will fail us never,
He'll reward us with a crown.
2 Fierce and wild the waves are dashing,
As the storm-king passes by,
And the lurid lightning's flashing
Brightly lumes the western sky;
But our hearts are calm and peaceful,
Tho' our eyes are dimmed with tears,
Since in ev'ry time of trouble
Jesus doth dispel our fears. [Chorus]
3 So by faith we'll travel ever,
Battling with the tempest wild,
Heed his word and falter never,
For he'll guide and guard his child;
Oh, how sweet the music, falling
From our Father's glory throne,
As we hear him gently calling,
Weary one, come home, come home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We are out upon an ocean]
