Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: Light in the Valley #77 (1898) First Line: You're sailing t'ward the fearful rapids, brother Refrain First Line: Face the harbor-home! Lyrics: 1 You're sailing t'ward the fearful rapids, brother,
Face the harbor home!
You're drifting farther from the beacon, brother,
Face the harbor-home!
See the clouds of darkness o'er you,
See the many words before you,
Turn this moment, we implore you,
Face the harbor-home!
Chorus:
Face the harbor-home!
Face the harbor-home!
The light discern, your frail bark turn,
And face the harbor-home!
2 Beware of hidden rock and sand, my brother,
Face the harbor-home!
Oh, turn toward the shining beacon, brother,
Face the harbor-home!
Shining stars their watch are keeping,
Angry waves are 'round you sweeping,
Guardian angels must be weeping,
Face the harbor-home! [Chorus]
3 Before you there is awful danger, brother,
Face the harbor-home!
Just turn about and there is safety, brother,
Face the harbor-home!
Brightly now the light is burning,
Wise are they the light discerning,
Oh! at once your back be turning,
Face the harbor-home! [Chorus] Topics: Praise; Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [You're sailing t'ward the fearful rapids, brother]
