Fierce and wild the storm is rag­ing
Round a help­less bark,
On to doom ’tis swift­ly driv­ing,
O’er the wa­ters dark!

Refrain

Joy, be­hold the Sav­ior,
Joy, the mes­sage hear,
I’ll stand by un­til the morn­ing,
I’ve come to save you, do not fear.
Yes, I’ll stand by un­til the morn­ing,
I’ve come to save you, do not fear.

Weary, help­less hope­less sea­men
Fainting on the deck,
With what joy they hail their Sav­ior,
As He hails their wreck!

Refrain

On a wild and stor­my ocean,
Sinking ’neath the wave,
Souls that per­ish heed the mes­sage,
Christ has come to save!

Refrain

Daring death thy soul to res­cue,
He in love has come,
Leave the wreck and in Him trust­ing,
Thou shalt reach thy home!
