The Lighthouse on the Shore

Author: John A. Jones Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #87 (1951) First Line: I was drifting ‘mid the wreckage on the storm-tossed sea of life Refrain First Line: I was drifting, drifting, drifting, without compass, chart, and oar Lyrics: 1 I was drifting ‘mid the wreckage on the storm-tossed sea of life; I was weary of the watching, of the labor and the strife; When I heard a sweet voice whisper—and repeat it o’er and o’er— “For your rescue, Christ the Saviour set a lighthouse on the shore.” I was drifting, drifting, drifting, without compass, chart, and oar, But was rescued by the Mater of the lighthouse on the shore. 2 Are you weary of the breakers sin has piled across life’s sea? Are you yet without the harbor where the soul from sin is free? For the rescue of the many who have drifted from the shore There the light-house guards the offing, and the Master’s on the oar. Are you drifting, drifting, drifting, without compass, chart, and oar? Then I pray you call the Mater of the lighthouse on the shore. 3 Are you drifting ‘mid the perils that beset life’s ocean-lane? Are you sailing without compass as you cross the treach’rous main? There’s a light-house at your service with the Master standing by; He will help you reach the harbor and the home beyond the sky. Are you drifting, drifting, drifting, without compass, chart, and oar? Then I pray you call the Mater of the lighthouse on the shore.
