Jesus, Savior, pilot me

by Edward Hopper

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 551.

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 Sovereign 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.
