Sail In The Light

I sail in the light that shines from the cross

Author: Maud Fraser
Tune: [I sail in the light that shines from the cross]
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 I sail in the light that shines from the cross,
Right o'er life's troubled sea,
I steer my soul to glory's goal,
By the rays from Calvary.

Chorus:
Then sail in the light,
O sail in the light,
Ye children of the gospel day;
From Calvary's ctoss
To glory's crown
Ye have the light alway.

2 I sail in the light that shines from the cross,
And by that light I see
The visage fair of Him who there
Laid down His life for me. [Chorus]

3 I sail in the light that shines from the cross
So bright is shines for me;
It's beams will guide safe o'er the tide
To the land where I would be. [Chorus]
