Hymnal: LS1874 #45 (1874) First Line: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock, and treach'rous shoal;
Chart and compass came from thee:
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
2 When the Apostle's fragile bark
Struggled with the billows dark,
On the stormy Galilee,
Thou didst walk upon the sea;
And when they beheld thy form,
Safe they glided through the storm.
3 As a mother stills her child
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey thy will,
When thou sayest to them, "Be still."
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
4 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!" Tune Title: SAVIOUR, PILOT ME
Saviour, pilot me
