MY PILOT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My bark is wafted to the strand
Last Line: Far into bliss.
Subject(s): God


My bark is wafted to the strand
By breath divine,
And on the helm there rests a hand
Other than mine.

One who has known in storms to sail
I have on board;
Above the raging of the gale
I hear my Lord.

He holds me with the billows' might—
I shall not fall:
If sharp, 'tis short; if long, 'tis light;
He tempers all.

Safe to the land—safe to the land,
The end is this;
And then with him go hand in hand
Far into bliss.
