Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal
Chart and compa** come from Thee;
Savior, 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
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 you say to me
I will pilot thee
