181. Jesus, Saviour, Pilot me

1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me,
Over life's tempestuous sea,
Unknown waves around me roll,
Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal,
Chart and compass come from thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist'rous waves obey thy will,
When thou sayest, "Peace, be still;"
Wondrous sov'reign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

3 When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and my peaceful rest,
Then while leaning on thy breast,
May I hear thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee."
