Oh, hear God calling Lyrics: 1 See God's mercy brightly beaming From His lighthouse on the shore; Steer to yonder light that's streaming, Sail life's stormy seas no more. Chorus: Steer for home! oh, hear God calling, Far above the tempest's roar; Oh, poor sailor! how appaling To be lost in sight of shore. 2 Listen to the wild winds sighing, See the billows capped with foam; O'er the sky dark clouds are flying, Steer your bark for heaven and home. [Chorus] 3 Shadows dark are slowly creeping, Angry billows madly lea; Stormy winds are wildly sweeping O'er the tossing, heaving deep. [Chorus] 4 Soon the winds will cease their sighing, Soon the waves be hushed to sleep; Your frail bark a wreck be lying Shattered, lost beneath the deep. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [See God's mercy brightly beaming]
