LyicsJe-sus, Sav-iour, pi-lot me
O-ver life's tempestuous sea:
Unknown waves before me roll.
Hid-ing rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and com-pass came from thee:
Jesus, Saviour, pi-lot me.
As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey thy will
When thou say'st to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, 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!"
