CHOIR AND SPECIAL |
"The winds and the waves shall obey My will, 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 skies; They all shall sweetly obey My will; Peace, be still! Peace, be still! They all shall sweetly obey My will; Peace, 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 threatening A grave in the angry deep?
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled; O, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o'er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish I dear Master; O hasten, and take control.
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, 0 blessed Redeemer, Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore.
Master, the tempest is raging! |
