Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
 Over life's tempestuous sea;
 Unknown waves before me roll,
 Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal.
 Chart and compass come from Thee.
 Saviour, pilot me.
 Though the sea be smooth and bright
 Sparkling with the stars of night
 And my ship's path be ablaze
 With the light of halcyon days
 Still I know my need of Thee;
 Savior, pilot me
 ♪
 As a mother stills her child,
 Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
 Boist'rous waves obey Thy will
 When Thou sayest to them, "Be still!"
 Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
 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,
 "I will pilot Thee."
 "I will pilot Thee."
 "I will pilot Thee."
 "I will pilot Thee."
 "I will pilot Thee."
 "I will pilot Thee."
