Daylight Is Past { Daylight Is Past PILOT OF GALILEE-Jay Arthur Ford Daylight Is Past } Daylight is past, Shadows are cast Over the sea and land; Down in the glade, Night's peaceful shade Lieth so near at hand. Full are the nets we've drawn to shore; Joy's measure pressed to overflow; The reefs are passed, the tempest's roar Sinks to a whisper low. Chorus Then tho' the tide be swift and wide, Naught can we fear on life's wild sea; To Thee we raise our songs of praise, Pilot of Galilee. Once down our path, The storm in wrath Lashed the wild foaming wave; Darkness and dread Gathered o'erhead, No human arm could save. Drifting and lost we heard with fear The breakers' roar where rocks did hide; Till thro' the gloom our souls could hear, "Lo, I will be thy guide." O Helmsman true, The voyage through, May we but trust Thy hand! Thine are the isles Where pleasures smiles, Thine the fair Beulah land. Each strange, new morn unveils the way To unknown seas where we must go; Thou who didst guide thro' yesterday, Tomorrow's path dost know.
