Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey thy will
When thou say'st to them, "Be still!"

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

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."
Amen. Used With Tune: PILOT
