Author: Henry Weston Frost Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When I put out to sea Lyrics: 1 When I put out to sea, Into eternity, My Pilot will be there; His hand will hold the helm— Lest storms should overwhelm— Till I shall reach the realm Where lies my haven fair. 2 Tho’ darkness shroud the deep, And billows toss and leap, I shall not be afraid; My Pilot knows the way Across the sea’s highway, Thro’ night, to that glad day Where light will never fade. 3 And if, perchance, dread fear Shall draw a moment near, As storms around me roar; Above the night wind’s sigh, I’ll hear my Pilot cry: "Fear not, for I am nigh," And I shall fear no more. 4 The darkness overpast, I’ll reach my port at last, And rest in haven calm; Brought safely, sweetly through, I’ll thank my Pilot true, And oft my thanks renew, In praise and triumph psalm. 5 And so I wait on shore, My gaze fixed on before, Across the dark’ning wave, My Pilot of the sea Will one day call for me— Then I shall ready be, And trust His power to save!
