1. Adift on life’s perilous ocean,
No place from the tempest to hide,
Ye storm-toss’d now turn your boat homeward,
Where shelter and comfort abide.
Chorus. O wanderer, out on life’s ocean, (life’s ocean,)
Borne on by the treacherous tide, (treacherous tide,)
If you take for your guide the dear Savior, (the Savior,)
You will ev’ry tempest outride.
2. Beyond there are sorrows and dangers,
And rocks where the wild breakers deep;
The sinner that’s wrecked in the darkness,
Returns to the harbor no more.
3. There’s one who will faithfully guide you
Past dangers unseen on the deep;
He ruleth the wave and the tempest,
And Jesus is mighty to keep.
