Seafarers Prayers
Globe by Mimi
The sea is rough Lord
As is many journeys,
Protect me in this vessel
And be with all who
Venture on lifes mysterys.
For I am but a cog
Battling against the tide
Steer me my Lord
To peace and calm
Safely in your hands. Amen
****************
Oh! God
Reach your hand
To those at sea,
Who cast there nets
In storms and gales.
Bring the men folk back
Home I pray. Amen
****************
As dawn breaks
Over the sea.
Watch those O Lord
In peril be.
Keep them safe
And in your hands
Guide them to
There distant lands.
As they sail
So fragile be
As dawn breaks
Over the sea. Amen
**************
The passage may be rough
On the sea of life
Be with us Lord
Through waves of strife.
Take us gently Lord
By the hand,
And lead us safely
To your distant land. Amen
****************
I fear Lord
The roaring sea
How I pray Lord
You will be with me.
I fear Lord
The howling storm
How I pray Lord
My heart you will calm.
I fear Lord
The driving rain
How I pray Lord
You will save me again.
**********
The lone seafarer
Wrestles with the sails
On the mystery of the sea.
He has so many tales
Of times when all was tranquil
He encountered the whales.
Another time he almost vanished
In giant waves and strong gales.
But most he remembers the time he was saved
By Gods strong hand he knows never fails.
******
Breton Fisherman's Prayer.
Protect me, dear Lord
My boat is so small
And Your sea is so big.
Amen.
*******
Guiding Light
Oh Guiding light
My steps may falter today
Lift me up Lord
So I may steadily follow Your way
For I am but a weak vessel
Bobbing on the sea of life
Steer me from danger
And away from strife
Your light is eternal
But I sometimes cannot see
That only You Lord
Is gently steering me.

*********
In all the storms of life
Where the rolling waves
Give us hope as each tide turns.
Let us not be as a bobbing cork
In the sea of life. But anchor our
Souls in the love of Jesus who is
Our steadfast lighthouse sheilding
Us from disaster.

The Ship of Life
The ship is floundering Lord
Steer us for the journey is rough
You are the Great Captain take
Us to calmer waters. We are fearful
As we travel in the dark, are we to
Go down in the fathoms of the deep.
We wrestle with the waves and tempests
Navigate us O God for only You know
The way. Surely the voyage will take us to a
Safe port where we can anchor and be
Rest assured in your greatness.
To feel your presence Lord in our pilgrim
Journey and see the light ahead is clear
We praise you our Saviour indeed.
