PEACE, BE STILL.

Once upon the heaving ocean, Rode a bark at evening tide, While the waves in wild commotion, Dash'd against the vessel's side, Jesus sleeping on a pillow, Heeded not the raging billow, While the winds were all abroad, Calmly slept the Son of God.
In that dark and stormy hour, Fearful ones awaked their Lord, Jesus by his sov'reign power, Calm'd the tempest with a word, On life's dark and restless ocean, 'Mid the billows' wild commotion, Trembling souls, your Lord is there, He will make you still his care.
Jesus knows your silent weeping, 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 the billows rolling o'er thee, All the soul with terror fill, Hear him saying—Peace, be still.
