Adrift On Life's Ocean

Author: Ada Blenkhorn Hymnal: Sunday-School Praises #129 (1900) First Line: Adrift on life's perilous ocean Refrain First Line: O wanderer, out on life's ocean Lyrics: 1 Adift on life’s perilous ocean, No place from the tempest to hide, Ye storm-toss’d now turn your boat homeward, Where shelter and comfort abide. Refrain: O wanderer, out on life’s ocean, Borne on by the treacherous tide, If you take for your guide the dear Savior, You will ev’ry tempest outride. 2 Beyond there are sorrows and dangers, And rocks where the wild breakers deep; The sinner that’s wrecked in the darkness, Returns to the harbor no more. [Refrain] 3 There’s one who will faithfully guide you Past dangers unseen on the deep; He ruleth the wave and the tempest, And Jesus is mighty to keep. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Adrift on life's perilous ocean]
