Author: Ida A. Hushower Hymnal: The Service of Praise #19 (1900) First Line: Away, away on the sea of life Refrain First Line: Sail on, sail on Lyrics: 1 Away, away on the sea of life,
My little boat doth glide;
I soon shall land on the other shore,
Beyond the swelling tide.
Refrain:
Sail on, sail on,
For soon this life is past;
Tho’ tempests beat, we will still sail on,
And all be home at last.
2 I sing my song as the days go by;
From storms I have no fear;
I safely glide on the rolling waves,
For Christ my Captain’s near. [Refrain]
3 Perhaps some soul may be sailing near,
So weary from life’s race;
I’ll sing my song, it may help him bear
The conflicts he must face. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Away, away on the sea of life]
Sail On
