Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me

Appears in 1,199 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treach'rous shoal: Chart and compass come from Thee; Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boist'rous waves obey Thy will When Thou say'st to them, "Be still!" Wondrous Sov'reign 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!" Used With Tune: [Jesus Saviour, pilot me]

Rescue the Perishing

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring one, Lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save. Chorus: Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. 2 Tho' they are slighting Him, Still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive, Plead with them earnestly, Plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe. [Chorus] 3 Down in the human heart, Crushed by the tempter, Feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving heart, Wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. [Chorus] 4 Rescue the perishing, Duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way Patiently win them; Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.
