Jesus, Savior, pilot me

Jesus

Savior

pilot me

Over life’s tempestuous sea;

Unknown waves before me roll

Hiding rock and treach’rous shoal;

Chart and compass come from Thee;

Jesus

Savior

pilot me.

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.

Though death’s valley I may pass

Still Thy grace will fear surpass;

In Thy presence I will rest

And

while leaning on Thy breast

I will hear Thee say to me

“Fear not

I will pilot thee.”
