“PEACE, BE STILL.”

Once upon a heaving ocean, Rode a bark at eventide, Whilst the winds in wild commotion, Dashed against the vessel’s side. Jesus, sleeping on a pillow, Heeded not the raging billow; Though the winds were all abroad, Calmly slept the Son of God.
In that dark and stormy hour, Fearful men awoke their Lord. Jesus, by his sovereign power, Calmed the tempest with a word. On life’s dark and troubled ocean, Midst the billows’ wild commotion, Trembling soul, your Lord is there, He will listen to your prayer.
Jesus hears your silent breathing, When before his throne you bow. Never, never is he sleeping, Where he reigns in glory now. If the world is dark before thee, If its billows, breaking o’er thee, All thy soul with sorrow fill, Hear him saying, “Peace, be still!”
—Sel.
