Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal, Chart and compass come from Thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
Verse 2
As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou sayest to them, "Be still." Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
Verse 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."
