Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Edward Hopper, 1871
J.E. Gould

Jesus, Savior, pilot me over life's tempestuous sea.
Unknown waves before me roll hiding rocks and treach'rous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist'rous waves obey Thy will when Thou sayst to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

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."
