I
I WAS DRIFTING ON LIFE'S STORMY OCEAN
DRIFTING FAR OUT FROM THE SHORE
WHEN THE BOATMAN HEARD ME CALL UNTO HIM
AND HE BROUGHT ME TO THE SHORE
CHORUS
I WAS SINKING ON LIFE'S STORMY SEA
GOING DOWN TO RISE NO MORE
WHEN THE LIFEBOAT FROM FAIR HEAVEN'S HARBOR
RESCUED ME FAR OUT FROM SHORE
II
AS WE ANCHORED IN FAIR HEAVEN'S HARBOR
HEAVEN'S LIGHT WAS SHINING BRIGHT
FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE ACROSS THE STORMY WATER
GUIDING SINNERS THROUGH THE NIGHT
III
HEAVEN'S LIGHT IS SHINING DOWN UPON ME
WHILE I'M WALKING IN THE LIGHT
STILL THERE'S MANY LOST OUT ON SIN'S OCEAN
DRIFTING FAR OUT IN THE NIGHT
