On Life's Dark, Unfathomed Ocean

Author: Caroline H. L. Jenks Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15076 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: On life’s dark, unfathomed ocean Refrain First Line: Naught to fear from storm or sorrow Lyrics: 1 On life’s dark, unfathomed ocean, To a far and distant shore, Join us in our hearts’ devotion, Loud above the tempest’s roar. Refrain: Naught to fear from storm or sorrow, Jesus is our guard and guide; In our heavenly home tomorrow, We shall rest us by His side. 2 Storms may lower and winds affright us, Darkly from the angry sky, Midnight gloom and doubt benight us, Jesus still is ever nigh. [Refrain] 3 He can hush the tempest’s roar, To the winds say, Peace, be still; All dark evils own His power, And are harmless ’neath His will. [Refrain] 4 Distant, see our home is shining, With its golden domes and spires, No more cares or sad repining, In the port of our desires. [Refrain] 5 On the shore our friends will meet us, Loved and lost ones gone before, With their echoing welcomes greet us, And we’ll rest forevermore. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: TARPON SPRINGS

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "TARPON SPRINGS" in The Cyber Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
