Rogers Psalm 23, Nautical Version The Lord is my Pilot, my ship is well stored. He steereth me into the harbors of abundance and guides my feet to the broad straight streets of port cities. Yea, though the tempest rages I shall not be afraid for He knoweth the ways of the sea and the strength of each ship launched upon the ocean of life. His compass and His steering wheel are true. He followeth the star which lights the way to the shores of immortal life. My voyage has led me amongst pirates at sea and buccaneers ashore, but my ship and its captain have survived perils on land and on sea. I have faith that favorable winds and calm seas will be our lot so long as the voyage lasts, and that I shall meet the Supreme Port Captain in the harbor of life eternal. Source: American Seamen, Vol. V, Nos. 3 & 4, Summer-Fall 1945 The Lord is my Pilot; I shall not drift. He leadeth me across the dark waters and steereth me in the deep channels. He keepeth my Log and guideth me by the star of holiness for His Name's sake. Yea, though I sail amid the thunders and tempests of life, I shall dread no danger, For Thou art with me; Thy love and Thy care, they shelter me. Thou preparest a harbor before me in the homeland of eternity; Thou anointest the waves with oil, and my ship rideth calmly, Surely sunlight and starlight shall favor me all the days of my voyaging, and I will rest in the port of my Lord forever.
