10. Adrift

1 Adrift tonight and awash
On the sea of life;
Storm-tossed and broken and spent
By its angry strife.

Refrain:
Will you ship the Pilot tonight,
Will you ship the Pilot tonight,
Let Him take control of your drifting soul,
Will you ship the Pilot tonight.

2 Canvas and rigging all torn
By the angry storm;
Close-hauled and reefed to the last,
By the billows borne. [Refrain]

3 Beware, oh, sailor beware
Of life’s raging sea;
Many a soul has been lost
For eternity. [Refrain]
