| 1. Here below, on life’s rough billows,
‘Neath our Saviour’s smile,
Let us fight as Christian soldiers—
‘Tis but for awhile.
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
2. Soon our fighting shall be ended,
Soon shall warfare cease;
Then, in the celestial city,
We shall reign in peace.
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
3. Sweet the Name on which forgiven
Sinners love to dwell!
Go ye to the poor and wretched,
And the good news tell.
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
4. Many, on their bed of anguish,
On this world depend:
Go, and point them to the Saviour—
He’s the sinner’s Friend!
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
5. Oh, if every guilty sinner
Did the Saviour know,
Then we might exclaim with gladness,
“Heav’n’s begun below!”
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
6. Let us, while on life’s rough billows,
Trust in Him alone;
Then we shall with joy behold Him
On His glorious throne.
Refrain.
Life’s billows cannot harm us,
If our hopes be stayed
On the blessed loving Saviour
Who our ransom paid!
