551. Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

B              E     B
Jesus, Savior, pilot me

     E          F#7      B
Over life’s tem-pestuous sea;

Gb7                     B
Unknown waves before me roll,

Gb7                         B
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.

B                 E         B
Chart and compass come from Thee;

       E       F#7   B
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.
