Be Still!", "number": "701", "lyrics": "Master, the tempest is raging!\nThe billows are tossing high!\nThe sky is o'ershadowed with blackness,\nNo shelter or help is nigh;\nCarest thou not that we perish?\nHow canst thou lie asleep,\nWhen each moment so madly is threat'ning\nA grave in the angry deep?\n\nThe winds and the waves shall obey thy will:\n\"Peace, be still!\"\nWhether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,\nOr demons, or men or whatever it be,\nNo water can swallow the ship where lies\nThe Master of ocean and earth and skies:\nThey all shall sweetly obey thy will—\n\"Peace, be still! Peace, be still!\"\nThey all shall sweetly obey thy will—\n\"Peace, peace, be still!\"\n\nMaster, with anguish in spirit\nI bow in my grief today;\nThe depths of my sad heart are troubled,\nO waken and save, I pray;\nTorrents of sin and of anguish\nSweep o'er my sinking soul!\nAnd I perish! I perish! dear Master;\nO hasten, and take control!\n\nMaster, 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;\nAnd with joy I shall make the blest harbor,\nAnd rest on the blissful shore.", "first_line": "Master, the tempest is raging!" }
