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
