[Verse 1]
Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before me roll
Hiding rocks and treacherous shoal
Chart and compass come from Thee
Savior, pilot me

[Verse 2]
As a mother stills her child
Thou can hush the ocean wild
Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When Thou says to them, "Be still"
Chart and compass come from Thee
Savior, pilot me

[Verse 3]
When at last I reach the shore
Where the fearful breakers roar
I will hear Thee say to me
"I will pilot thee"

[Refrain]
I will pilot thee
I will pilot thee
I will pilot thee
