Are you wea­ry with your sor­row­ing?
Scarcely strength to lift an oar?
Christ with pi­ty sees your toil­ing:
He is stand­ing on the shore.

Refrain

Are you wea­ry with your row­ing?
Are you wea­ry at the oar?
Lift your eyes and be en­cour­aged:
Christ is stand­ing on the shore.

Do the clouds seem dark with sha­dows,
That you fain would see no more?
Have you lost that gleam­ing ha­lo
From the Christ up­on the shore?

Refrain

Are the wa­ters dash­ing hard­er
’Gainst your boat than e’er be­fore?
Lift your eyes above the bil­lows:
Christ still stands up­on the shore.

Refrain

Oh, re­mem­ber that in full­ness
Christ can per­fect peace re­store;
In what­ev­er sea of trou­ble,
Still He stand­eth on the shore.
