16510. I Will Pilot Thee

1 Sometimes, when my faith would fal­ter,
And no sun­light I can see;
I just lift mine eyes to Je­sus,
And I whis­per, "Pi­lot me."

Refrain:
"Fear thou not, for I’ll be with thee;
I will still thy pilot be;
Never mind the tossing billows,
Take My hand and trust in Me."

2 Often, when my soul is weary,
And the days seem oh, so long,
I just look up to my pilot,
And I hear this blessed song; [Refrain]

3 When temp­ta­tions ’round me ga­ther,
And I al­most lose my way,
Somehow, in the rag­ing tem­pest,
I can hear my Sav­ior say, [Refrain]

4 When I come to Jor­dan’s riv­er,
And its trou­bled wa­ters see,
On the brink I’ll see my Sav­ior,
And I know He’ll pi­lot me. [Refrain]
