Sail On!

Verse 1

Upon a wide and stormy sea, Thou’rt sailing to eternity, And thy great Admiral orders thee: “Sail on! sail on! sail on!”

Chorus

Sail on! sail on! the storms will soon be past, The darkness will not always last; Sail on! sail on! God lives! and He commands: “Sail on! Sail on!”

Verse 2

Art far from shore, and weary worn, The sky o’ercast, the canvas torn? Hark ye! a voice to thee is borne: “Sail on! sail on! sail on!”

Verse 3

Do comrades tremble and refuse To farther dare the taunting hues? No other course is thine to choose, “Sail on! sail on! sail on!”

Verse 4

Do snarling waves thy craft assail? Art powerless, drifting with the gale? Take heart! God’s Word shall never fail! “Sail on! sail on! sail on!”
