Lyrics

He goes with me up­on the stor­my ocean;
He bears me safe­ly thro’ the rest­less sea;
He stills my fears, de­spite my life’s com­mo­tion,
And mak­eth all the winds a calm to me.

Refrain

He goes with me where’er I go,
Tho’ waves dash high or wild winds blow;
Yet this I know, whate’er be­tide,
He still will be my faith­ful guide.

He is the One who taught the sons of morn­ing
To sing their songs of ev­er­last­ing joy;
The saints of ev­ery age, His will adorn­ing,
Have found un­bound­ed peace in His em­ploy.

Refrain

Redeemer of the world, the Rock of Ag­es,
Whose name too high and sac­red for my voice,
No mat­ter how the pow­er of ev­il rag­es,
Can save the one who mak­eth Him his choice.

Refrain

Some day the storms of life will all be ov­er,
And safe in port my an­chor I will cast;
Till then I’ll trust in Jes­us as my pi­lot,
Nor fear no ill, tho’ skies be ov­er­cast.
