Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1301 (1886) First Line: Hold to the helm, sailor, when the skies are clear Lyrics: 1 Hold to the helm, sailor, when the skies are clear,
Hold more firmly when the storms appear;
Begin the watch ere you leave the shores of youth,
And always keep hold of the helm of truth.
Chorus:
Hold to the helm, hold to the helm,
Hold to the guiding helm of truth;
Hold to the helm on the sunny seas of youth,
And all through the voyage let us hold to the truth.
2 Thousands have launched on the changeful sea of life
Who have perished in the awful strife;
Thousands today flaunt abroad profession sail,
But where is the helm for the fearful gale? [Chorus]
3 Greater the danger, the broader flies the sail,
Trusting this alone, you're sure to fail;
Signal the lifeboat before the waves o'erwhelm,
And ask for the Bible, the guiding helm. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Scriptures, Law, Sabbath Scripture: Psalm 73:24 Tune Title: HOLD TO THE HELM
Hold to the helm, hold to the helm
