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; Boisterous waves obey thy will, When thou say’st to them, “Be still!” Wondrous Sovereign 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.”
