Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Over life’s tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before me roar
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal
Chart and compass came from thee
Jesus, Savior Pilot me

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

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
