Author: S. S. Corbey Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12819 First Line: Darkly the waters roll Refrain First Line: Waters roll, waters roll Lyrics: 1 Darkly the waters roll,
And pass with a sullen roar;
And they surge, and eddy, and awe the soul
That must pass to the other shore.
Refrain:
Waters roll, waters roll,
And pass with a sullen roar;
Waters roll, waters roll,
As we pass to the other shore.
2 Into the seething foam
The wearisome soul must go;
But, oh, what a wonderful change has come
That calmeth the waters so. [Refrain]
3 Jesus, the Savior, spoke
Unto the wild waves: Be still!
And the waves into harmless ripples broke,
Becalmed by the Master’s will. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Darkly the waters roll]
