On life’s dark, un­fa­thomed ocean,
To a far and dist­ant shore,
Join us in our hearts’ de­vo­tion,
Loud above the tem­pest’s roar.

Refrain

Naught to fear from storm or sor­row,
Jesus is our guard and guide;
In our hea­ven­ly home to­mor­row,
We shall rest us by His side.

Storms may low­er and winds af­fright us,
Darkly from the an­gry sky,
Midnight gloom and doubt be­night us,
Jesus still is ev­er nigh.

Refrain

He can hush the tem­pest’s roar,
To the winds say, Peace, be still;
All dark ev­ils own His pow­er,
And are harm­less ’neath His will.

Refrain

Distant, see our home is shin­ing,
With its gold­en domes and spires,
No more cares or sad re­pin­ing,
In the port of our de­sires.

Refrain

On the shore our friends will meet us,
Loved and lost ones gone be­fore,
With their ec­ho­ing wel­comes greet us,
And we’ll rest for­ev­er­more.
