If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.
Psalm 139:9–10
Words: William C. Poole, 1924.
Music: Marie M. Hine (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Hine (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Poole,
It helps when temptation sweeps over my soul,
And tossing is life’s restless sea,
To know that my pilot has perfect control,
And Jesus is thinking of me.
Refrain
Thinking of me, thinking of me,
Jesus my Savior is thinking of me;
Where’er I may be, on the land, on the sea,
Jesus my Savior is thinking of me.
It helps me, when pleasures would lead me astray,
To know that the Savior in love,
Is tenderly guiding me over life’s way,
And watching from Heaven above.
Refrain
So onward I journey in gladness today,
Wherever my pathway may be;
I know that my Savior is leading the way,
And Jesus is thinking of me.
