Mighty to Save.

By Vesta N. Cudworth

AIR.—"We're tenting to-night on the old camp ground."

WE'RE sailing to-day on the stormy tide Of time; with a threat'ning gale; We fear not the storm, with Christ by our side, We never! no never! can fail. Many are the dear ones left by the way, And some have gone down to the grave; We will meet them again when death yields its prey, For Jesus is mighty to save.

ChorUS: Mighty to save, mighty to save, Jesus is mighty to save.

Let the old vessel rock, we're nearing shore, And home looks bright o'er the wave, We'll shout 'mid the thundering breaker's roar, Our leader has conquered the grave. Then ocean's may yawn, and rocks for us lurk, The mad foam, our frail bark may lave; Our anchor's in Heaven, our heart's in the work, And Jesus is mighty to save.

Chorus:

Oh! sailors rejoice, there is land in sight, The flower-gem'd shore so fair, Is just o'er the wave; where a golden light Sprinkles the balmy air; Never mind the toil, we'll tug at the oar, Be truthful, loving, and brave; We're just in the port, where the toiling is o'er, And Jesus is mighty to save.

Chorus:

Vesta N. Cudworth.
