The Cyber Hymnal ‎#15941

15941. Peace, Be Still

1 Tempest tossed and storm bewildered
All the night,
Sought they Him at early morning
In affright;
"Thou, and only Thou canst save us,
By Thy will."
And the Master whispered softly,
"Peace, be still."
"Peace, be still, peace, be still."
And the Master whispered softly,
"Peace, be still."

2 When the storms of life are raging
O’er our way,
And we sink beneath the waters,
Then we pray:
"Savior, help us, Savior, guide us,
By Thy will,"
And the loving Master whispers
"Peace, be still."
"Peace, be still, peace, be still."
And the loving Master whispers
"Peace, be still."

3 Stilled their fears and hushed their murmurs,
As they heard;
Fell a calm on hearts and tempest,
At His word;
Backward rolled the angry waters,
Dark and chill,
As the Master softly whispered,
"Peace, be still."
"Peace, be still, peace, be still."
As the Master softly whispered,
"Peace, be still."
