I Know Who Pilots Me

lyricist: James Rowe, 1905
Composer: Howard Smith

When ang­ry waves about me roll

And hide my path across life’s sea

No fear alarms my trust­ing soul

For well I know who pi­lots me.

Yes

well I know who pi­lots me

Across life’s ev­er trou­bled sea;

The winds may rave

and waves may swell

While Je­sus pi­lots

all is well.

Day af­ter day

tho’ tossed about

And oft­en dan­ger­ous rocks I see

There comes to me no fear nor doubt

For well I know who pi­lots me.

Tho’ each new day brings tri­als sore

Tho’ rough­er still the ocean be

I know that I shall reach the shore

For well I know who pi­lots me.

My Sav­ior’s love still guides me on

My on­ly chart and com­pass He;

I’ll trust Him till the jour­ney’s done

For well I know who pi­lots me.
