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.
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.
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.”
