"Out On Life's Stormy Ocean" by Haldor Lillenas

[state]

Hi, I have this song on a very old cassette that I've had since I was a small child...I really want to find the words and music to it; the old recording is not very clear, and my family would love to learn it. Does anyone know where the full text of the lyrics and music might be available?

Any help appreciated!!

Thanks!

Would this be the song?

Out on life's ocean


Out on life's ocean with perils ever nigh
I have a Pilot on whom I can rely
With Him to guide me life's storms I can defy
'Tis Christ of Galilee.

CHORUS
He is my Pilot on life's stormy sea
This wondrous man of Galilee
I'm safe in His keeping
Though storms are round me sweeping
The Pilot of Galilee.

Wondrous His power and matchless in His skill
Billows and tempests obey His sovereign will
Hushed into silence at His blest, "Peace be still"
This man of Galilee

Fierce was the tempest once raging in my soul
When of my barque He, my Pilot took control
With voice commanding above the thunder's roll
This man of Galilee.

Hear it ye storm-tossed upon the sea of sin
Why will ye not take the heavenly Pilot in
Safely He'll guide you the haven blest to win
This man of Galilee.


Unfortunately I don't have music for this song.

God bless

Actually the song you share is a different one... thanks for sharing though. It is a similar theme.

Here is what I recall of the one I'm searching for:

Out on life's stormy ocean,
Wildly the waves may roll;
Loud is their fear's commotion,
But One can the pow'rs control!

What though the night be falling
Over the restless sea?
One never will forsake me,
He safely will pilot me!

Far from the peaceful harbor,
Doomed by the waves to die;
Courage! behold, thy Savior
To rescue now draweth nigh!

??________________________??
Enter the Haven blest!
Peace for the troubled spirit,
And realms of eternal rest!

Chorus??
Jesus whispers "Peace be still"
(harmony in background: Peace be still, Peace be still,)
Jesus whispers "Peace be still"
(harmony in background: Peace be still, Peace be still,)
Jesus the Wonderful King of the sea can calm its rolling waves!
Loud the angry billows sweep about my soul;
But they only drive me nearer to my goal!
Angry waves obey Him, tempest gales have gone;
All is calm before Him, Christ the Mighty One!

As you can see, I have gaps... and I'm not sure which is verse and which is chorus. Maybe this much will trigger someone's memory though!

Thanks!
