Representative Text

1 Pilot me, O gracious Saviour,
For the storms of life beat hard;
Helpless I without Thy guidance,
Be Thou near to guide and guard.

Refrain:
Guide me, O my loving Saviour,
Ever be my guide;
Through the morn of youth
Be ever at my side;
No matter where I go,
Or what my lot may be,
I know I’m ever safe with Thee;
Guide me, O my loving Saviour,
Ever be my guide;
Through the morn of youth
Be ever at my side;
And no matter where I go,
Or what my lot may be,
I may safely, surely trust in Thee.

2 All unknown the future danger,
All unknown the farther shore;
Guide my barque safe to Thy haven,
Still for me the breakers roar. [Refrain]

3 Bid my fainting heart take courage,
Trusting Thee I fear no ill;
Though the storms may o’er me gather,
Thou can’st all their raging still. [Refrain]
