I’m on life’s ocean, homeward bound,
My pilot is Je­sus;
Where many mansions will be found,
My pilot is Je­sus.

Refrain

My pilot is Je­sus,
My pilot is Je­sus;
Oh, what care I though waves are high;
My pilot is Je­sus.

The old ship Zion is my boat,
My pilot is Je­sus;
In every storm she’ll safely float,
My pilot is Je­sus.

Refrain

No hiding rock or treacherous shoal,
My pilot is Je­sus.
Can wreck me ere I reach my goal,
My pilot is Je­sus.

Refrain

He calms the raging winds at will,
My pilot is Je­sus;
He speaks, and lashing waves are still,
My pilot is Je­sus.

Refrain
