Far at sea

Jane Cross Simpson (1830) • English

Primary Scripture: Revelation 22:16

Verse 1

Star of peace to wanderers weary! Bright the beams that smile on me! Cheer the pilot's vision dreary, Far, far at sea.

Verse 2

Star of hope! gleam on the billow; Bless the soul that sighs for Thee, Bless the sailor's lonely pillow, Far, far at sea.

Verse 3

Star of faith! when winds are mocking All his toil, he flies to Thee; Save him on the billow rocking, Far, far at sea.

Verse 4

Star divine! oh! safely guide him; Bring the wanderer home to Thee; Sore temptations long have tried him Far, far at sea.
