Far Out On the Desolate Billow
Author: Rossiter W. Raymond Meter: 9.6.9.6.9.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far out on the desolate billow
The sailor sails the sea,
Alone with the night and the tempest,
Where countless dangers be;
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend unfailing,
And God is ev'rywhere.
2 Far down in the earth's dark bosom
The miner mines the ore;
Death lurks in the dark behind him,
And hides in the rock before.
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend unfailing,
And God is ev'rywhere.
3 Forth into the dreadful battle
The steadfast soldier goes;
No friend, when he lies a-dying,
His eyes to kiss and close.
Yet never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend unfailing,
And God is ev'rywhere.
4 Lord, grant as we sail life's ocean,
Or delve in its mines of woe,
Or fight in its terrible conflict,
This comfort all to know,
That never alone is the Christian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend unfailing,
And God is ev'rywhere.
