Sunshine No. 2 ‎#52

52. The Tide of Joy

1 Oh, speed far away on the ocean of joy,
Stay not in the sheltering bay;
Your pilot will guide you o’er billows of sin,
And keep you from danger each day.

Refrain:
Oh, speed away on the tide of joy,
And Jesus will with you stay;
The light of His love,
Like stars from above,
Will guide you along the way.

2 The night may seem dark and the storm you may fear,
But heed not the tempest nor gale,
The morning will dawn, and the sky will be clear,
O’er ripples of joy you may sail. [Refrain]

3 Speed on far away on the ocean of joy,
With Jesus you safely will glide,
Or peacefully drift o’er the silvery wave,
And lovingly rest by His side. [Refrain]
