Who Will Our Pilot Be?

Lizzie DeArmond (1907) • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 4:39

Verse 1

We sail along toward the harbor light, Over the great life sea; The breakers roar and the waves dash high, Who will our pilot be?

Chorus

The Christ will our Pilot be, A wonderful Guide is He; So we’ll sail, sail sail! Christ will our Pilot be.

Verse 2

We sail along in the morning bright, Happy and glad are we; But still we ask, as the rocks draw near, Who will our pilot be?

Chorus

The Christ will our Pilot be, A wonderful Guide is He; So we’ll sail, sail sail! Christ will our Pilot be.

Verse 3

We sail along, there are shoals, they say, Dangers from which to flee; We face the storm with a heavy heart, Who will our pilot be?

Chorus

The Christ will our Pilot be, A wonderful Guide is He; So we’ll sail, sail sail! Christ will our Pilot be.
