1. When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
‘Tis said, far down, beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.
Chorus:
Peace, saith the Master; Peace, peace be still,
Hushed is the tempest, obedient to His will;
Hushed is the tempest, obedient to His will.
2. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth,
And silver waves chime ever peacefully;
And no rude storm, how fierce so e’er it flieth,
Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.
3. So to the heart that knows Thy love, O Purest,
There is a temple, sacred evermore;
And all the babble of life’s angry voices
Dies in hushed stillness at its peaceful door.
4. Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving tho’ts rise kind and peacefully;
And no rude storm, how fierce, so e’er it flieth,
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord, in Thee.
