Lyrics

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me

[Verse 1]

Jesus, Savior, pilot me

Over life's tempestuous sea

Unknown waves around me roll

Hiding rocks and treacherous shoal

Chart and compass come from Thee

Jesus, Savior, pilot me

[Verse 2]

As a mother stills her child

Thou can hush the ocean wild

Boisterous waves obey Thy will

When Thy says to them, "Be still!"

Wondrous Sovereign of the sea

Jesus, Savior, pilot me
