The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1365

1365. We are joyously voyaging over the main

1 We are joyously voyaging over the main,
Bound for the evergreen shore,
Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain,
And never see death any more.

Chorus:
Then let the hurricane roar,
It will the sooner be o'er,
We will weather the blast, and we'll land at last,
Safe on the evergreen shore.

2 We have nothing to fear grom the wind and the wave,
Under our Saviour's command;
And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave;
For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus]

3 Both the winds and the waves our Commander controls;
Nothing can baffle his skill;
And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls,
Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus]

4 In the thick, murky night, when the stars and the moon
Send not a glimmering ray,
Then the light of His countenance, brighter than noon,
Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus]

5 Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave,
Fearfully overhead break,
There is One by our side that can comfort and save,
There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus]
