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


As a mother stills her child
You can hush the oceans wild

Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When You say 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
Grant me and the peaceful rest
Then, while leaning on Your chest

May I hear You say to me
Fear not, I will pilot thee
