Author: Mary A Baker Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #515 (1999) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: Master, the tempest is raging! Refrain First Line: The winds and the waves shall obey my will Lyrics: 1 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?
Refrain:
"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!
2 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, dear Master:
O hasten and take control! [Refrain]
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 harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore. [Refrain] Topics: Trials and Tribulations Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE BE STILL
Master, the Tempest Is Raging
