When angry waves about me roll,
And hide my path across life’s sea,
No fear alarms my trusting soul,
For well I know who pilots me.
Refrain
Yes, well I know who pilots me
Across life’s ever troubled sea;
The winds may rave, and waves may swell,
While Jesus pilots, all is well.
Day after day, tho’ tossed about,
And often dangerous rocks I see,
There comes to me no fear nor doubt,
For well I know who pilots me.
Refrain
Tho’ each new day brings trials sore,
Tho’ rougher still the ocean be,
I know that I shall reach the shore,
For well I know who pilots me.
Refrain
My Savior’s love still guides me on,
My only chart and compass He;
I’ll trust Him till the journey’s done,
For well I know who pilots me.
Refrain
