The Port of Peace

Verse 1

We are on the ocean sailing, Toss’d on life’s tumultuous waves, Night and darkness all around us, While the tempest fiercely raves.

Chorus

Soon the storms will all be over, All our dark forebodings cease;— Home at last, we’ll soon cast anchor Safe within the Port of Peace.

Verse 2

In the lurid sky above us, Faith can see no beacon star, But our Pilot will convey us Safely o’er the harbor bar.

Verse 3

Thus the Twelve, midst angry billows, Struggled long on Galilee, Till the Savior, roused from slumber, Spake and calmed the troubled sea.

Verse 4

Let the storm rage ne’er so wildly, Be the harbor far or near, If we only sail with Jesus, We have never cause to fear.
