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 threat'ning
A grave in the angry deep?
Chorus:
"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 all shall sweetly obey my will;
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey my will;
Peace, peace, be still!"
2 Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled;
O, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o'er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master;
O hasten, and take control. [Chorus]
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 harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore. [Chorus] Scripture: Mark 4:39 Used With Tune: PEACE, BE STILL!
The winds and waves shall obey my will
