I Feel the Winds of God Today

I feel the winds of God to­day;

Today my sail I lift

Though hea­vy

oft with drench­ing spray

And torn with ma­ny a rift;

If hope but light the wa­ter’s crest

And Christ my bark will use

I’ll seek the seas at His be­hest

And brave ano­ther cruise.

It is the wind of God that dries my

Vain re­gret­ful tears

Until with brav­er thoughts shall rise

The pur­er

bright­er years;

If cast on shores of self­ish ease

Or pleasure I should be;

Lord

let me feel Thy fresh­en­ing breeze

And I’ll put back to sea.

If ev­er I for­get Thy love

And how that love was shown

Lift high the blood red flag above;

It bears Thy name alone.

Great pilot of my on­ward way

Thou wilt not let me drift;

I feel the winds of God to­day

Today my sail I lift.
