Chords

3/4 time. Can be played with a more 6/8 feel. Originally in the key of Bb. Moderate speed. Optional ending added. I tend to hold out the spaces in the middle of each line. Gives each partial section more emphasis I suppose. From the 1922 "Pilot Me" Hymnal Song #1. Also in the 1940 Broadman #158. [Verse 1]
G                   D          G                     C       D           G
Je - sus, Sav -ior, pi  -  lot me       O  - ver   life's tem-pes - tuous sea;

              D        C         G                   D         C           G
Un  -  known waves be -fore  me  roll,   Hid -ing   rocks  and treach'rous shoal;

G                      D         G                C        D        G
Chart and   com -pass  come from Thee:  Je - sus, Sav-ior, pi - lot me.
[Verse 2]
G                   D          G                    C        D           G
As   a    moth-er   stills her child,   Thou canst hush   the o  -  cean  wild;

               D       C         G                   D         C           G
Boist 'rous  waves o - bey   Thy will    When Thou  say'st to  them  "Be   still!"

G                      D         G                 C       D        G
Won - drous Sov-'reign of   the  sea,   Je - sus, Sav-ior, pi - lot me.
[Verse 3]
G                   D          G                    C         D           G
When at   last I    near   the shore,   And  the   fear - ful break-ers   roar

               D      C         G                    D       C           G
'Twixt me    and   the peace-ful rest,   Then while lean - ing on     Thy  breast,

G                      D         G               C       D        G
May   I     hear Thee  say  to   me,   "Fear not, I   will pi - lot thee."
[Outro]
             D        C           G                   D         C           G
Un  -  known waves be -fore  me roll,   Hid -ing   rocks  and treach'rous shoal;

G                      D         G                C        D        G
May   I     hear Thee  say  to   me,   "Fear not, I   will pi - lot thee."
