Far Out on the Desolate Billow
Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond, 1840-1918 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1580 Refrain First Line: For God is a Friend unfailing Lyrics: 1. Far out on the desolate billow
The sailor sails the sea,
Alone with the night and the tempest,
Where countless dangers be;
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
Refrain
For God is a Friend unfailing,
And God is everywhere.
2. Far down in the earth’s dark bosom
The miner mines the ore;
Death lurks in the dark behind him,
And hides in the rock before.
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer; [Refrain]
3. Forth into the dreadful battle
The steadfast soldier goes;
No friend, when he lies adying,
His eyes to kiss and close.
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer; [Refrain]
4. Lord, grant as we sail life’s ocean,
Or delve in its mines of woe,
Or fight in its terrible conflict,
This comfort all to know,
That never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer; [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Far out on the desolate billow]
