Watch did thine anxious servants keep,
But thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep,
Calm and still.
2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry,
"Oh, save us in our agony!"
Thy word above the storm rose high
"Peace, be still.
3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep
Sank, like a little child, to sleep
The sullen billows, ceased to leap,
At thy will.
4 So, when our life is clouded o'er,
And storm-winds drift us from the shore,
Say, lest we sink to rise no more,
"Peace, be still." Used With Tune: ST. AELRED
"Peace, be still"
