Classic Poem

1. Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea;
2. As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Boisterous waves obey thy will When thou sayest to them, " Be still. "
Chart and compass came from thee; Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

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. "
