1. Master, the tempest is raging.\nThe billows are tossing high.\nThe sky is o’ershadowed with blackness.\nNo shelter or hope is nigh.\nCarest Thou not that we perish?\nHow can’st Thou lie asleep?\nWhen each moment so madly is threat’ning\na grave in the angry deep.\n\n[Chorus]\nThe winds and waves shall obey Thy will.\nPeace, be still, Peace be still.\nNot the wrath of the storm tossed sea,\nor demons or men or whatever it be\nno waters can swallow the ship where lies\nthe Master of ocean and earth and sky.\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will.\nPeace, be still, peace be still.\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will.\npeace, peace be still.\n\n2. Master, with anguish of spirit\nI bow in my grief today.\nThe depths of my sad heart are troubled.\nOh waken and save I pray.\nTorrents of sin and of anguish\nsweep o’er my sinking soul.\nAnd I perish I perish dear master\nOh hasten and take control.\n\n[Chorus]\nThe winds and waves shall obey Thy will.\nPeace, be still, Peace be still.\nNot the wrath of the storm tossed sea,\nor demons or men or whatever it be\nno waters can swallow the ship where lies\nthe Master of ocean and earth and sky.\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will.\nPeace, be still, peace be still.\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will.\npeace, peace be still.\n\n3. Master the terror is over,\nthe elements sweetly rest.\nEarth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored\nand heaven’s within my breast.\nLinger o blessed Redeemer.\nLeave me alone no more.\nWith joy I shall make the blest harbour,\nand rest on the blissful shore.\n\n[Chorus]\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will.\nPeace, be still, peace be still.\nThey all shall sweetly obey Thy will\npeace, peace be still.\nPeace be still. Peace be still.\nPeace be still. Peace be still.\nThe winds and waves obey Thy will.\n
