As mother stills her child
thou canst hush the ocean wild;
boist'rous waves obey thy will
when thou say'st to them 'be still'
wond'rous soverign of the sea
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.


When at last I near the shore
and the fearful breakers roar
'twixt me and the peaceful rest
then, when leaning on thy breast
may I hear thee say to me, 
'Fear not, I will pilot thee.'
