Oh Pilgrim on Earth,
I may journey along
Knowing not what the future may hold
I'd rather have Jesus and
sing the sweet song
Than to covet Earth's silver and gold
Stormy, warm,
waters are driftin' around me
And the tempest in theory may roll
But I have my dear Satan,
he helps me, nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken
And my earthly friends misunderstand
Stormy waters drift all around me
But I hold to God's unchanging hand
Here I have disappointment
so often by my side
Stormy waters around me may roll,
may roll
I'll hold you to the hand of
my Savior so dear
He's the shepherd that's
keeping my soul
Stormy waters are driftin'
And the tempest and fury may roll
But I have my dear Sa vior
That helps me, nobody can know
Well, it seems I'm forsaken
And my earthly friends misunderstand
Stormy, warm waters around me
But I hold to God's unchanging
hand
Stormy, warm quarters around me
And the tempest in theory may roll
But I have my dear Sa vior
He helps me, nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken
And my earthly friends misunderstand
Stormy waters around me
But I hold to God's unchan
ging hand
