Lyrics to the hymn, Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

A field and mountains



Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

A mountain, sky, clouds, and trees


The Subject At Hand

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Jesus, Savior Pilot Me, by Edward Hopper in 1871; it is a very pretty hymn, and I like how Mr Hopper used the sea to talk about life. 

But I'm getting ahead of myself; if you don't know how the tune goes, I'll leave some links down below.

Now, without further adieu...

A beautiful morning


The Lyrics

Verse 1 

Jesus, Savior, pilot me,

Over life's tempestuous sea;

Unknown waves before me roll,

Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal;

Chart and compass came from Thee;

Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

Verse 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, Savior, pilot me.

Verse 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."

Blue skies and green trees. Lame description, but true.



Afterwards

"As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild."

I love that line; and do you see what I mean when I say that Edward Hopper used the ocean for the theme of His hymn? Methinks he was a sailor. 

He wasn't, though. He was an artist. Totally different.

Hymns are a work of art; just read the words of a few of them, and you'll see what I mean. They tell such a a story, and give you a feeling of awe. What would worship be like if there were no hymns?

Thank you to the people who put the time into writing the hymns, and thanks be to God for letting them do it. 

Cloudy day

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
