Master, the Tempest Is Raging

[Verse 1] Master, the tempest is raging! The billows are tossing high! The sky is o'er-shadowed 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? [Chorus] 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 waters 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! [Verse 2] 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. [Chorus] 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 waters 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! [Verse 3] 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 blessed Redeemer, Leave me alone no more: And with joy I shall make the blest harbour, And rest on the blissful shore. [Chorus] 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 waters 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!
