Peace Be Still

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 threatning

A grave in the angry deep?

(Chorus)

The winds and the waves shall obey thy will

Peace, be still

Peace, be still

Peace, be still

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 sky

They all shall sweetly obey thy will

Peace, peace, be still
