Sail On (Gabriel)

Upon a wide and stor­my sea

Thou’rt sail­ing to eter­ni­ty

And thy great ad­mir­al or­ders thee:

Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

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!

Art far from shore

and wea­ry worn

The sky o’er­cast

thy can­vas torn?

Hark ye! a voice to thee is borne:

Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Do com­rades trem­ble and re­fuse

To fur­ther dare the taunt­ing hues?

No oth­er course is thine to choose

Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

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!
