looking for this song, it was written probably in the 70's or so.

Master of the Sea....(title) (V1) One night upon the sea, a ship was tossing to and fro......(chorus) when he reaches out his hand,..........He's the one that sails with me, he's the Master of the Sea.
I don't know who wrote it and can't remember who sang it. Any words are appreciated, I know the tune, maybe the rest of the words will come to me. Thanks.

MASTER OF THE SEA

I

ONE NIGHT UPON THE SEA,
A SHIP WAS TOSSING TO AND FRO.
BRAKERS DASHED ON EVERY HAND,
ANGRY WINDS AROUND THEM BLOWED,
ALL ON BOARD WERE FILLED WITH FRIGHT
AS THE MIGHTY BILLOWS ROLLED,
THEN THEY CALLED UPON THE ONE,
WHO THE WINDS AND WAVES CONTROLLED.

II

THO THE STORMS OF LIFE MAY RAGE,
AND THE BILLOWS ROUND YOU ROLL.
HE CAN CALM LIFE'S TROUBLED SEA
AS HE DID IN DAYS OF OLD.
AS UPON LIFE'S SEA YOU SAIL
TRUST IN HIM WHO NEVER FAILS,
I'M SO GLAD HE SAILS WITH ME,
HE'S THE MASTER OF THE SEA.

CHORUS

WHEN HE REACHES DOWN HIS HAND,
BILLOWS CEASE AT HIS COMMAND,
WIND AND WAVES OBEY HIS WILL.
WHEN HE SAYS TO THEM, "BE STILL"
WHAT MAN IS THIS THEY ALL DID SAY,
THAT THE WIND AND SEA OBEY,
HE'S THE ONE WHO SAILS WITH ME.
HE'S THE MASTER OF THE SEA.

Thank you so much avilb. I appreciate the quick response.
I knew this was the place to go for that song.
