Master, the Tempest Is Raging
1. Master! Master! Master!Master the tempest is raging!The billows are tossing high!The sky is o’ershadowed 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 threat’ninga grave in the angry deep?
Winds and the waves shall obey Thee.Peace, be still.Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed seaor demons or men or whatever it be,No waters can swallow the ship where liesthe Master! Our Master.
2. Master, with anguish of spiritI bow in my grief todayThe depths of my sad heart are troubled.Oh waken and save I pray.Torrents of sin and of anguishsweep o’er my sinking soul,And I perish! I perish! dear Master.Oh hasten and take control!
3. Master, the terror is over.The elemets 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 moreAnd with joy I shall make the blest harborand rest on the blissful shore.
The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will:Peace, be still.Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,or demons or men or whatever it be,no waters can swallow the ship where liesthe Master! Dear Master.All shall sweetly obey Thy will:Peace, be still.
