Great Tabernacle Hymns ‎#58

58. Jesus the Pilot's on Board

1 Over life’s ocean safely I glide,
Bound for the haven beyond the tide;
Tho’ rocks and shoals abound in the sea,
Jesus will safely pilot me.

Chorus:
Jesus the Pilot’s on board,
Jesus the Pilot’s on board;
Rolling, bounding over life’s sea,
Jesus will safely pilot me.

2 Tho’ adverse wings oft break o’er my bark,
Tho’ all the sky be o’ercast and dark,
I tremble not for Jesus is near;
He as my Pilot my soul will cheer. [Chorus]

3 After all storms and dangers are past,
I’ve crossed the bar and anchored at last,
In the blest harbor, safe on that shore,
I’ll be with Jesus forevermore. [Chorus]
