Author: Lelia Naylor Morris Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11581 Lyrics: 1 On the ocean of life we are sailing,
For the Canaan above we are bound;
We are certain the port to be gaining,
Since the heavenly Pilot we’ve found.
Refrain:
Pilot me, pilot me;
Take the helm in Thine own hand,
Bring my sinking bark to land;
Pilot me, pilot me;
Pilot me.
2 For He knows where the dangers are lurking,
Where the rocks and the hidden reefs lie;
We are safe tho’ the billows are breaking,
And the hungry waves dash mountains high. [Refrain]
3 Soon the haven our bark will be nearing,
The Jerusalem golden and fair;
Soon the lights of the city appearing,
Soon the home of the ransomed we’ll share. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [On the ocean of life we are sailing]
