Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me

Author: Edward Hooper, 1818-1888 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,165 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass come from Thee: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou sayst to them, "Be still!" Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee!" AMEN. Topics: Trials and Tribulations Used With Tune: PILOT

Safely Through Another Week

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,010 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, Waiting in His courts today; Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest: Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. 2 While we pray for pard'ning grace, Thro' the dear Redeemer's name, Show Thy reconciled face; Take away our sin and shame: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in Thee: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in Thee. 3 Here we come Thy name to praise, Let us feel Thy presence near; May Thy glory meet our eyes, While we in Thy house appear: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast. 4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; Make the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief for all complaints: Thus may all our Sabbaths prove, Till we join the Church above: Thus may all our Sabbaths prove, Till we join the Church above. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: SABBATH
