Steer Toward the Light

Fierce is the tem­pest

loud is its roar

Storm-tossed the ma­rin­er

far from the shore;

See! what is put­ting the dark­ness to flight?

Jesus

the Morn­ing Star! steer t’ward the Light!

Brightly it gleams

and its pure sil­ver beams

Scatter the gloom of the night

Tho’ the storms ’round thee rave

He is migh­ty to save

Then

ma­rin­er

steer t’ward the Light.

Storms can­not hide it

years can­not fade;

Firm its foun­da­tion is

be not afraid;

Heav’n’s am­ple har­bor shall soon greet thy sight

Watch for the dawn of day

steer t’ward the Light!

When wild the tem­pest round thee is hurled

Look un­to Je­sus

the hope of the world!

Bright shall the day be that fol­lows the night

Courage

then

ma­rin­er

steer t’ward the Light!
