Upon a [the] wide and stormy sea, Thou art [Thou'rt] sailing

1 Upon a wide and stormy sea,
Thou’rt sailing to eternity,
And thy great Admiral orders thee:
“Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!”

Refrain:
Sail on! Sail on! the storms will soon be past,
The darkness will not always last;
Sail on! Sail on! God lives and He commands:
“Sail on! Sail on!”

2 Art far from shore, and weary worn—
The sky o’ercast, thy canvas torn?
Hark ye! a voice to thee is borne:
“Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!” [Refrain]

3 Do comrades tremble and refuse
To further dare the taunting hues?
No other course is thine to choose,
“Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!” [Refrain]

4 Do snarling waves thy craft assail?
Art pow’rless, drifting with the gale?
Take heart! God’s Word shall never fail—
“Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!” [Refrain]
