Representative Text

1 Over Judea’s rugged hills,
Down by the sounding sea,
Where’er Thy blessed footsteps lead,
Jesus, oh, pilot me.

Refrain:
Pilot me, pilot me,
Jesus, oh, pilot me;
Thro’ all the changes life decrees,
Jesus, oh, pilot me.

2 Over the stormy sea of life,
Where wind and wave is free.
Guide my frail bark to harbor safe,
Jesus, oh, pilot me. [Refrain]

3 When to the shad’wy vale I come,
Trusting, O Lord, in Thee,
Show me the path Thy feet have trod,
Jesus, oh, pilot me. [Refrain]
