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.
While th’Apostles’ fragile bark
Struggled with the billows dark,
On the stormy Galilee,
Thou didst walk upon the sea;
And when they beheld Thy form,
Safe they glided through the storm.
Though the sea be smooth and bright,
Sparkling with the stars of night,
And my ship’s path be ablaze
With the light of halcyon days,
Still I know my need of Thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
When the darkling heavens frown,
And the wrathful winds come down,
And the fierce waves, tossed on high,
Lash themselves against the sky,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me,
Over life’s tempestuous sea.
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 Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
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.”
He chose me Before the world was known
He chose me To be His very own, He made me Then let me choose my way I chose to move away He loved me When hope had taken wing He loved me When I lost ev'rything He brought me Redemption's work was done Through Jesus Christ His Son
Who shall separate me From the love of God
Shall dreams of tomorrow Pain or sorrow Can the need of food Of earthly possessions The threat of war or man's oppression In all these things Vict'ry is our reward
Vict'ry is our reward Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Of this I am sure
That neither death nor life Nor angels, nor principalities Nor powers Nor things present, nor things to come Nor height nor depth nor any creature Shall separate me From the love of God Through Jesus Christ our Lord
