The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4446

4446. My Pilot Is Jesus

1. I’m on life’s ocean, homeward bound,
My Pilot is Jesus;
Where many mansions will be found,
My Pilot is Jesus.

Refrain
My Pilot is Jesus,
My Pilot is Jesus;
Oh, what care I though waves are high;
My Pilot is Jesus.

2. The old ship Zion is my boat,
My Pilot is Jesus;
In every storm she’ll safely float,
My Pilot is Jesus. [Refrain]

3. No hiding rock or treacherous shoal,
My Pilot is Jesus.
Can wreck me ere I reach my goal,
My Pilot is Jesus. [Refrain]

4. He calms the raging winds at will,
My Pilot is Jesus;
He speaks, and lashing waves are still,
My Pilot is Jesus. [Refrain]
