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]
