Who Will Our Pilot Be?

lyricist: Lizzie DeArmond, 1907
Composer: Ira Wilson

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?

The Christ will our pi­lot be

A won­der­ful guide is He;

So we’ll sail

sail

sail!

Christ will our pi­lot be.

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?

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?
