VERSE 1
Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o'ershadowed 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?
CHORUS
"The wind and the waves shall obey My will,
Peace, be still!"
Whether the wrath of the stormed-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies,
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace be still! Peace be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will:
Peace be still! Peace be still!
VERSE 2
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depth 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!
CHORUS
"The wind and the waves shall obey My will,
Peace, be still!"
Whether the wrath of the stormed-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies,
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace be still! Peace be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will:
Peace be still! Peace be still!
VERSE 3
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 harbour,
And rest on the blissful shore.
CHORUS
"The wind and the waves shall obey My will,
Peace, be still!"
Whether the wrath of the stormed-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies,
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace be still! Peace be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will:
Peace be still! Peace be still!
