Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

1. Jesus, Savior, pilot meOver life’s tempestuous sea;Unknown waves before me roll,Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;Chart and compass came from Thee;Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

2. Jesus, Savior, anchor me;Hold me still ‘midst raging sea.Let my soul to Thee be bound;Keep me safe though storms surround.Lest I drift away from Thee,Jesus, Savior, anchor me.

3. As a mother stills her child,Thou canst hush the ocean wild;Boisterous waves obey Thy willWhen Thou say’st to them, “Be still!”Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

4. 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.”
