Traditional Melody: Words by “The Water Is Wide” Mark Davies O, Song of Freedom, come lift us now O’er waves of sorrow, and show us how To find the island still ahead somewhere, Proud sails our wings, the wind our prayer. Our weathered ship braves waters blue. We trust our Captain, steadfast and true. Through storm and tempest, over reef and bar, He’ll guide our course by Heavenly star.
I see the harbor where we can lie In gentle waters, with cloudless sky. We’ll set firm anchor, soon furl our sails, No more we’ll wander through these travails.
Instrumental with Modulation Up
God’s love is boundless, God’s love is kind, No sweeter haven can mortals find. When waves of sorrow carry us astray, We’ll sing of freedom, He’ll show the way.
