Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life's tempestuous seas Chart and compass came from thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal, Chart and compass came from thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me. As a mother still her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me Boist'rous waves obey thy will When thou say'st to them, "Be still!" Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me. Whena ta last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar May I hear thee say to me, "Fear not; I will pilot thee." 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."
