I am on­ly a lit­tle sail­or,
To stem the rag­ing tide,
But I will not shrink or fal­ter,
For Je­sus is my guide;
Tho’ the waves may dash around me,
The winds may fierce­ly roar,
I will keep my eyes on Je­sus,
And trust Him ev­er­more.

I am on­ly a lit­tle sol­dier,
To fight in this great war,
But I will not fear or trem­ble,
Nor give the bat­tle o’er;
And tho’ war should rise against me,
My soul to ov­er­throw,
I will brave­ly strug­gle on­ward,
And con­quer ev­ery foe.

I am only a lit­tle Chris­tian,
To walk at Je­sus’ side,
But I’ll fol­low where He leads me,
Whatever may be­tide;
Tho’ the world may try to win me,
With plea­sures rich and gay,
I will trust in God my Sav­ior,
He’ll keep me day by day.
