Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #195 (1898) First Line: When upon life's rolling ocean Refrain First Line: Put your trust in your commander Lyrics: 1 When upon life's rolling ocean,
Fraught with danger is the trip;
Do not fear 'mid the commotion,
Jesus never leaves the ship.
Chorus:
Put your trust in your commander,
Not a foot on board shall slip;
In yon port He'll safely land her,
Jesus never leaves the ship.
2 When the waves are dashing o'er her,
Do not fear tho' she may dip;
Better skies yet lie before her,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]
3 O look up, why are ye fearful?
Why look down with trembling lip?
Dry your eyes now sad and tearful,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]
4 Oft the vessel we must lighten,
From all worldly things must strip;
Then we'll find as the skies brighten,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus]
5 Sinner come and sail for Heaven,
Have no fears about the trip;
All on board to Him are given,
Jesus never leaves the ship. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [When upon life's rolling ocean]
