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.”
