Another Hymn for a Navy Veteran

“Jesus, Savior Pilot Me”

1.     Jesus, Savior, pilot me over life’s tempestuous sea;

Unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treach’ous shoal;

Chart and Compass come from thee, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

2.     As a mother stills her child; thou canst hush the ocean wild;

Boist’rous waves obey thy will when thou say’st to “Be still.”

Wondrous sov’reign of sea. Jesus, Savior, 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 you say to me: “Fear not, I will pilot thee.”
