Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Lyrics

1. 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. 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. 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.”
