Brave Little Ships

 We go to sea in ships so brave!

Brave little ships 'gainst wind and tide.

We journey long and ride the deep -

Crossing the ocean wild and wide:

But we sail safe as God's aboard,

Leading our ship and ever guide.

Though waves may come and waves may go -

Our little ship will still sail on.

The night will come and strong winds blow,

All is still well at break of dawn

Because our Savior rides with us:

Staying with us though time be long!

And as our ship breasts the briny deep,

Steering from shoals of sin we sees:

What matter ships of some may mock,

We keep our course though longer be.

So sad - their end - a shattered ship!

We, with our Lord, hail victory!

~ Lynn Fenimore Nuzzi

Then are they glad

because they be quiet:

so He bringeth them

to their desired haven.

Ps. 107:30
