Pilot of the soul, awake, <br />Save us for thy mercies' sake; <br />Now rebuke the angry deep, <br />Save, O save thy sinking ship! <br /> <br />Stand at the helm, our vessel steer, <br />Mighty on our side appear <br />Saviour, teach us to descry <br />Where the rocks and quicksands lie. <br /> <br />The waves shall impotently roll, <br />If thou 'rt the anchor of the soul: <br />At thy word the wind shall cease, <br />Storms be hush'd to perfect peace. <br /> <br />Be thou our haven of retreat, <br />A rock to fix our wav'ring feet, <br />Teach us to own thy sovereign sway, <br />Whom the winds and seas obey.<br /><br />Augustus Montague Toplady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-save-us-we-perish/
