MARINER’S HYMN.

Looking unto Jesus.

1.

Star of the Soul, my Saviour’s cross,

No cloud thy glorious light can hide;

Thou shin’st unshaken, while I toss

In darkest night, o’er billows wide;

I look to thee, I look to thee,

Whatever gulfs would overwhelm,

And thine unclouded presence see,

Above the storm, and o’er the helm.

2.

Star of the Soul, my Saviour’s cross,

That from the deep baptismal wave,

I saw arise, when all at loss

Repentance found naught else to save:

Oh seen by faith at such an hour,

My only hope, my only guide,

Star of the Soul, how blest the Power,

That set thee o’er life’s raging tide.

3.

Star of the Soul, in storms of fear

That in my heart their tumult keep,

Oh cross of Christ, thou still art near,

In mercy beaming o’er the deep;

Though sin its bitter waters toss,

Unbrightened by a hope beside,

Star of the Soul, my Saviour’s cross,

No cloud thy glorious light can hide.
