Hymn 445 SAIL ON! SAIL ON! Lyrics

1. Upon a wide and stormy sen,
thou’rt sailing to etemity,
And thy great Adm’ral 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
“Sails on! Sail on! Sail on!”

2. Art far from shore, and weary worn
The sky o’er cast, the canvas torn?
Hark ye! A voice to thee is borno
“Sail on! Sail on sail on!

3.Do comrades tremble and refuse
To further the taunting hues?
No other course is Thine to choose,
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

4.Do snarling waves thy craft assail?
Art pow’rless, drifting with the gale?
Take heart! God’s word shall never fail! Sail on!
Sail on! Sail on!
