Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.565

First Line: I am sailing afar on the ocean of life,

I am sailing afar on the ocean of life,
In my bark that is slender and frail ;
But I know not a fear with my Pilot to steer,
And in safety Imeet every gale.

Jesus is my Pilot,
The Pilot of my soul ;
I will ever trust Him,
Though surging billows roll.

2 I am tossed on the waves, to the
deeps I am borne,
But my Pilot is strong at the helm ;
In His love I abide, in His promise
confide,
And the wild waters never o'erwhelm.

3 When the harbour appears, and my
voyage is done,
And the storms never come to me more ;
Oh, what joy it will be all my loved
ones to see,
When we meet on eternity's shore.
