Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O Lord, be with us when we sail 
 O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 
 We need not fear, though all around ’Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 
 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. 
 As when on blue Gennesaret Rose high the angry wave, And Thy disciples quailed in dread, One word of Thine could save. 
 So when the fiercer storms arise From Man’s unbridled will, Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts To whisper, “Peace, be still!” 
 If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon’s roar, 
 Be Thou the Mainguard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. 
 Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. 
 To Thee the Father, Thee the Son, Whom earth and sky adore, And Spirit moving on the deep, Be praise forevermore.
