The Kingdom of Praise ‎#88

88. Peace, Be Still

1 Storm upon the waters, terrors on the deep,
While the winds and waves wildly beat,
Thru the driving tempest, Jesus lies asleep,
Till disciples kneel at His feet.

Refrain:
“Master, oh hear us, stormy tempests blow,
Save, or we perish, in the waves below,
Calm o’er the waters that obey His will,
Comes the sweet voice of Jesus “Peace, be still.”

2 Tho’ the deepest sorrow, sin or cruel care,
Come to fill our hearts with their woe,
Call upon the Saviour, never feel despair,
At His word all trouble must go. [Refrain]

3 Trust Him for salvation, for His Word is sure,
Where He stays all tumult must cease,
Ever thru the ages shall His will endure,
Giving calm and safety and peace. [Refrain]
