163. Lift Me Over

1 When I follow Christ my Saviour
Wheresoever he may guide,
He will safely lift me over
Every dark and stormy tide.

Refrain:
Lift my over, blessed Saviour,
Over every swelling sea,
Lift me over, till in glory,
I shall be at home with thee.

2 When the waters of temptation
Threaten to engulf my soul,
In his arms shall be my refuge,
Backward then the waves shall roll. [Refrain]

3 Duties hard and cares perplexing
Surge across the heav’nward way,
But in Jesus I am finding
Sweet deliv’rance every day. [Refrain]

4 Saviour, when this life is ended,
Lift me over Jordan’s tide,
Bring me to the Better Country,
There, forever satisfied. [Refrain]
