Fierce Raged the Tempest o’er the Deep

Fierce raged the tem­pest o’er the deep

Watch did Thine an­xious serv­ants keep

But Thou wast wrapped in guile­less sleep

Calm and still.

Save

Lord

we per­ish

was their cry

O save us in our ag­ony!

Thy word above the storm rose high

Peace

be still.

The wild winds hushed; the ang­ry deep

Sank

like a lit­tle child

to sleep;

The sul­len bil­lows ceased to leap

At Thy will.

So

when our life is cloud­ed o’er

And storm winds drift us from the shore

Say

lest we sink to rise no more

Peace

be still.
