The Lights of Home

Author: Priscilla J. Owens Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Steersman, steersman, the channel's rough and dark Refrain First Line: Sailing o'er the restless tide Lyrics: 1 Steersman, steersman, the channel’s rough and dark, The waves roll high, the winds sweep by, Now whither speeds thy bark? Now whither speeds thy bark? Sailing, sailing, to reach a glorious home, Though storms assail we dare the gale, For Jesus bids us come. Refrain: Sailing o’er the restless tide, Sailing through the gale we glide; There beyond the billows’ foam, We see the lights of home. 2 Steersman, steersman, the stars are wrapped in mist, The Polar star still beams afar On hills of amethyst, On hills of amethyst. Sailing, sailing, to find a better land, No wind that blows our hope o’erthrows, While Christ waits on the start. [Refrain] 3 Steersman, steersman, how wild the tempest raves! The floods may swell, but all is well, While Jesus walks the waves, While Jesus walks the waves. Sailing, sailing, to find a happier shore, A pathway bright shines through the night, Where friends have gone before. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Steersman, steersman, the channel's rough and dark]
