In The Harbor We’ve Been Sheltered
In the harbor we’ve been sheltered,
Gath’ring strength to glide away;
Now our untried sails unfurling,
Must we welcome you today.
Anxious, restless, headed seaward,
Thus we wait the outward tide;
For we know that ere the morrow,
Anchors must be cast aside,
Anchors must be cast aside.
CHORUS:
Yes! In the harbor we’ve been sheltered
Gathering strength to glide away
Now our untried sails unfurling
Must we welcome you today.
Deep and dark and tossing ocean,
Spurning now the peaceful land,
Have you hidden rocks of danger?
Have you bars of wrecking sand?
But our faith with upturned finger,
Shall we compass ever be;
It will guide us to the father,
When our ships come in from sea,
When our ships come in from sea.
