The Lord is my Captain The Lord is my cherished captain, On His vessel my life isn`t vain, My faith in Him never wagers My trust in Him never shatters. I am bound for a long voyage That calls for the shine of courage, I`m not assailed by any fear As to His words I do adhere. He steers the ship to path that`s right And resplendent with sparkling light, Evades channels that are too tight, Arousing my inner delight. My captain guides me stormy gales As well as the tumultuous hales To surmount with tranquility And mind full of serenity. The darkness of the horizon Nor the depth of the ocean Does inspire in me any awe, But instils my spirit with glow. At my venturous journey`s end I`m delighted to reach a land Where the spark of light ever shines And the clime is ever sublime. It is a land that has no end, Where everyone is a true friend Where I and ego have no place And lies off bounds of time and space. I pray that His grace and mercy Rest with me, and I am worthy Forever to serve at His shine And the Trinity that`s divine.
