I'm a little sailor, sailing o'er the sea,
Over time's big billows, to eternity,
Jesus, Pilot, hold the helm,
Let no storm my bark o'erwhelm,
Jesus, Pilot, hold the helm,
Let no storm my bark o'erwhelm.

I'm a little soldier, troops of foes around.
Satan, sin and pleasure smite with many a wound.
Jesus, Captain, lead me on,
Help me win the victor's crown,
Jesus, Captain, lead me on,
Help me win the victor's crown.

I'm a little pilgrim, travelling toward the sky,
Steep the path before me, snares around me lie.
Jesus, pilgrim, show the way,
Homeward to eternal day.
Jesus, pilgrim, show the way,
Homeward to eternal day.

Help the sailor, soldier, lest I fall or drown,
Help the pilgrim rover, help to home and crown.
Come what may, I'll never fear
If, dear Jesus, thou art near,
Come what may I'll never fear,
If, dear Jesus, thou art near.
