1. Jesus, Savior, pilot meOver 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.”
