  • Oh death, where is thy sting?
    Oh grave, where is thy victory?
    Oh life, you are a shining path
    And hope springs eternal just over the rise
    When I see my Redeemer beckoning me

    Oh roll my ship over the waves of Your sea
    Let me find a safe port now and then
    Don't let the Dark One in Your sanctuary
    Until it's time to pack it in

    Oh roll my ship with the fire of Your breath
    And don't lay a broadside on Your ship as yet
    Blow Ye warm winds when it's chilly and wet
    And don't come too soon for collecting my debt

    Oh death, where is thy sting?
    Oh grave, where is thy victory?
    Oh life, you are a shining path
    And hope springs eternal just over the rise
    When I see my Redeemer beckoning me

    Oh let me sail on with my ships to the East
    And keep my eye on the North Star
    When the journey is no good for men or for beast
    I'll be safe wherever You are

    Just let me sail into Your harbor of lights
    And there and forever to cast out my line
    Give me my task and let me do it right
    And do it with all of my might Writer/s: JOHN R CASH
