Fierce is the tem­pest, loud is its roar,
Storm-tossed the ma­rin­er, far from the shore;
See! what is put­ting the dark­ness to flight?
Jesus, the Morn­ing Star! steer t’ward the Light!

Refrain

Brightly it gleams, and its pure sil­ver beams
Scatter the gloom of the night,
Tho’ the storms ’round thee rave,
He is migh­ty to save,
Then, ma­rin­er, steer t’ward the Light.

Storms can­not hide it, years can­not fade;
Firm its foun­da­tion is, be not afraid;
Heav’n’s am­ple har­bor shall soon greet thy sight,
Watch for the dawn of day, steer t’ward the Light!

Refrain

When wild the tem­pest round thee is hurled,
Look unto Je­sus, the hope of the world!
Bright shall the day be that fol­lows the night,
Courage, then, ma­rin­er, steer t’ward the Light!
