551. Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Ab             Db    Ab
Jesus, Savior, pilot me

     Db         Eb7      Ab
Over life’s tem-pestuous sea;

Eb7                     Ab
Unknown waves before me roll,

Eb7                         Ab
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.

Ab                Db        Ab
Chart and compass come from Thee;

       Db      Eb7   Ab
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.


[[Full Lyrics]]

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

[Verse 2]
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 sovreign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

[Verse 3]
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.
