Lyrics

Steady, bro­ther, stea­dy, though the storm winds rise,
And dark­ness ga­ther o’er you and it veil your skies;
Keep your course un­wa­vered, and be brave, be true;
Fear not while the Mas­ter holds the helm with you.

Refrain

Steady, stea­dy, though clouds veil the sky;
Steady, stea­dy, though waves roll high;
Steady, stea­dy, be brave, be true;
Fear not while the Mas­ter holds the helm with you.

Steady, bro­ther, stea­dy, though the wild waves sweep,
Your barque will ride in safe­ty, for He rules the deep;
Waves shall not o’er­flow you while the Pi­lot’s near;
By the chart He giv­eth you, your course can steer.

Refrain

Steady, bro­ther, stea­dy, look you ov­er there,
Beyond the cloud and tem­pest see, the port lies fair;
There with­in the har­bor with the storms all past,
You can safe­ly an­chor, shel­tered safe at last.
