O, the winds were hushed, and the night grew fair,
When the Master's voice brought a blessing there:
The dark, rolling sea owned his sovereign will,
For the mighty King uttered, "peace, be still,"
For the mighty King uttered, "peace, be still."
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
"Child of the King," on his gentle breast;
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
In Jesus thou art forever blest.
So the heart is hushed in the storm of grief,
When the Master's word brings its sweet relief;
O, trust, weary soul, in his holy will,
For the King of love whispers, "peace, be still,"
For the King of love whispers, "peace, be still."
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
"Child of the King," on his gentle breast;
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
In Jesus thou art forever blest.
There's a song of joy when that voice is heard,
And new faith upsprings at his blessed word;
Sing on, happy heart, and his praise fulfill,
For the King of love whispers, "peace, be still,"
For the King of love whispers, "peace, be still."
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
"Child of the King," on his gentle breast;
Peacefully, peacefully, peacefully rest,
In Jesus thou art forever blest.
