Trusting my Captain

I know not if the harbor of the blessed

Be near me or be far

And I shall find the paradise of rest

I know not when or where

 

As through the deeper channels of the sea

Float without a car

The everlasting arms are under me

My God is near

 

He guides me safely past the sunken rocks

The dangerous hidden reef

He shelters me against the tempest shocks

He makes me safe

 

The treacherous billows shall not overflow

Rage as they may and will

The strength of Him who holds I know

And trust Him still

 

And though the clouds may lower dark and drear

And though the tempest rage

Yet day by day I know I’m drawing near

Safe anchorage.
