BE NOT AFRAID

We too take ship, O soul
Joyous we too launch out on trackless sea . . .
Caroling free, singing our song of God,
Chanting our chant of pleasant exploration . . .
Sail forth - steer for the deep waters only,
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me,
For we are bound where the mariner has not yet dared to go,
And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy but safe! are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail.
