- Our life is like a stormy sea
Swept by the gales of sin and grief,
While on the windward and the lee
Hang heavy clouds of unbelief;
But o�er the deep a call we hear,
Like harbor bell�s inviting voice;
It tells the lost that hope is near,
And bids the trembling soul rejoice.
- Refrain:
This way, this way, O heart oppressed,
So long by storm and tempest driv�n;
This way, this way, lo, here is rest,
Rings out the harbor bell of Heav�n.
- Oh, let us now the call obey,
And steer our bark for yonder shore,
Where still that voice directs the way,
In pleading tones forevermore;
A thousand life wrecks strew the sea;
They?re going down at every swell;
�Come unto Me, come unto Me,�
Rings out th� assuring harbor bell.
- O tempted one, look up, be strong;
The promise of the Lord is sure,
That they shall sing the victor�s song,
Who faithful to the end endure;
God�s Holy Spirit comes to thee,
Of His abiding love to tell;
To blissful port, o�er stormy sea,
Calls Heav�n�s inviting harbor bell.
- Come, gracious Lord, and in Thy love
Conduct us o�er life�s stormy wave;
Oh, guide us to the home above,
The blissful home beyond the grave;
There, safe from rock, and storm, and flood,
Our song of praise shall never cease,
To Him who bought us with His blood,
And brought us to the port of peace.
