Safe in the Life Boat I Joyfully Ride { Safe in the Life Boat I Joyfully Ride SAFE IN THE LIFE-BOAT-M. L. McPhail Safe in the Life-Boat I Joyfully Ride } Safe in the life-boat I joyfully ride Out on life's perilous ocean; Shutting my ears to the roar of the tide, Peaceful amid its commotion. Chorus On to the haven eternal, I glide, Telling love's wonderful story; Jesus, my Pilot, remains at my side, Filling my soul with His glory. Safe in the life-boat I smile at the wave, Know no repining or sadness; Since at my side stands the "Mighty to Save," His presence fills me with gladness. Safe in the life-boat when tempests arise, Leaving His presence, no, never; Jesus, my Pilot, sees where danger lies; He will sustain me forever.
