Peace Be Still

Master, the tempest is raging The billows are tossing high The sky is o'er shadowed with blackness No shelter or help is nigh Carest Thou not that we perish? How canst Thou lie asleep When each moment so madly is threatening A grave in the angry deep? The winds and the waves shall obey my will, peace be still Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea Or demons or men or whatever it be No water can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean and earth and skies They shall sweetly obey my will Peace be still, peace be still They all shall sweetly obey my will, peace, peace be still Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today The depths of my sad heart are troubled Oh, waken and save, I pray Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o'er my sinking soul And I perish, I perish, dear Master Oh, hasten and take control The winds and the waves shall obey my will, peace be still Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea Or demons or men or whatever it be No water can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean and earth and skies They shall sweetly obey my will Peace be still, peace be still They all shall sweetly obey my will, peace, peace be still Master, the terror is over The elements sweetly rest Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored And heaven's within my breast Linger, o blessed Redeemer Leave me alone no more And with joy I shall make the blest harbor And rest on the blissful shore The winds and the waves shall obey my will, peace be still Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea Or demons or men or whatever it be No water can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean and earth and skies They shall sweetly obey my will Peace be still, peace be still They all shall sweetly obey my will, peace, peace be still
