1 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!

2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist'rous waves obey Thy will
When Thou sayst to them be still;
Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea,
Jesus Savior, pilot me!

3 When at last I reach the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twix me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me:
"Fear not, I will pilot Thee!"
