Lyrics Fierce are the wild waves, storm-toss'd the shore; Tempests are raging, fearful their roar; Clouds move above you, darker than night, Turn! troubled seaman, steer for the light! Clearly the beacon shines o'er the sea, Steer for the lighthouse shining for thee; Tho' there are 'round you mountains of night, Bend to your oar and steer for the light! Safe in the harbor, anchor'd at last, Tempests and billows, things of the past; Day with its glory follows the night, Happy the soul who steered for the light! Chorus: Clearer than noonday, shines o'er the wave, Strong is our Captain, "mighty to save;" Fadeless and sure, e'er to endure, Pure beams of glory, piercing the night, Then, struggling seaman, steer for the light!
