Lyrics
Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea.
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
[Chorus 1]
Chart and compass, Lord, came from Thee.
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
Chart and compass, Lord, came from Thee.
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
[Verse 2]
As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild.
Boist’rous waves obey Thy will
When Thou say’st to them, “Be still!”
Wond’rous Sovereign Lord of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
Wond’rous Sovereign Lord of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
[Verse 3]
When at last I near the shore
And the fearful breakers roar,
‘Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
[Chorus 3]
May I hear Thee, Lord, say to me,
“Fear not; I will pilot thee.”
May I hear Thee, Lord, say to me,
“Fear not; I will pilot thee.”
