Embarked across the stormy sea

Don Fortner

(Tune: The Doxology - LM)

Embarked across the stormy sea,

       Within the good ship Grace,  I see

       That both the ship and stormy seas

       Are ruled by Him  Who pilots me.

 

 

Upon the billows of the sea,

       Lord Jesus, Savior, pilot me!

       Your love, and grace, and tender care

       Is all that keeps me from despair.

 

 

My Pilot  will His word perform: -

       He’ll not forsake me in the storm,

       But make each raging billow blest.

       Christ gives me peace. He is my Rest.

 

 

When I have reached the other side,

       I’ll see each roaring billow’s tide

       Was needed to bring me, at last,

       Into my Pilot’s land of rest.
