1. Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life’s tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass come 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 sayest 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.”
