Lord of the Sea

Author: Thoro Harris Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #156 (1906) First Line: Blest Savior, faith's celestial star Refrain First Line: O blessed Christ, Lord of the sea Lyrics: 1 Blest Savior, faith’s celestial star, Guide of the wand’rer here below, Thrown on life’s surge we claim Thy care; Save us from peril, save from woe. O gentle Jesus, mild and meek, Thy promised aid Thy children seek; Our hopeless debt Thyself hast paid, And on Thy head our sins were laid. Chorus: O blessed Christ, Lord of the sea, Guide Thou the wand’rer, guide Thou me; O blessed Christ, Lord of the sea, Guide Thou the wand’rer, guide Thou me; 2 Far out upon life’s stormy sea, Lord of the deep! we look to Thee; Thou art a refuge ever nigh, To Thee for help Thy children cry. On Thee our sorrows all were laid; Our pray’rs ascend to heav’n thro’ Thee; Remind Thy Father thou hast paid The price of our iniquity. [Chorus] Topics: Guidance; Prayer; Protection; Refuge; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: [Blest Savior, faith's celestial star]
