1 Jesus, Savior, pilot me, Over life’s tempestuous sea: Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treach’rous shoal; Chart and compass come 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!”
