Master, the tempest is raging!
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 threatening
A grave in the angry deep?
The winds and the waves
obey Thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath
of the storm tossed sea,
Or demons or men, or whatever it be
No waters can swallow
the ship where lies
The Master of ocean,
and earth, and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my
sad heart are troubled
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master
Oh, hasten, and take control.
The winds and the waves
obey Thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath
of the storm tossed sea,
Or demons or men, or whatever it be
No waters can swallow
the ship where lies
The Master of ocean,
and earth, and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!
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 blessèd Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more;
And with joy I shall
make the blest harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.
The winds and the waves
obey Thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath
of the storm tossed sea,
Or demons or men, or whatever it be
No waters can swallow
the ship where lies
The Master of ocean,
and earth, and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!
