Текст песни James Cleveland - Peace Be Still

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 threatning,
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 water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies;
They 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

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
