Fran, From our hymnal is the song you requested. I love singing this.
MASTER THE TEMPEST IS RAGING
By Mary A Baker
& Horatius R Palmer
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 threat'ning
A grave in the angry deep?
Chorus:
The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will;
Peace,(peace,be still)be still(peace, be still)
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or what-ever it be,
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies:
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will;
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy 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;
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.
Chorus
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 harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.
Chorus
