Tune: | PILOT |
Composer: | J. E. Gould, 1822-1875 |
1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When thou say'st to them: "Be still!"
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!
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,
May I hear Thee say to me:
"Fear not! I will pilot thee!"
