The Channel
Out of the harbor of youth,
Onto life's broad sea,
Under the guidance of God,
Sail the ships of humanity.
Into heavy fogs of doubt.
Where waves Of temptation rise high
To dash on the reefs of sin.
Each ship as 1t passes by.
But the favorable tides of love,
And the current, OF common sense
Can carly them safely on,
Over waves that are strong and I'M

For there's a channel safe and deep.
| Where the ships of humanity roam
That leads from the harbor of youth
To the port of our Heavenly Home
