Nearer, my God, to Thee

There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer to Thee! Used With Tune: BETHANY

Peace! Be Still!

Author: Miss M. A. Baker Appears in 283 hymnals First Line: Master, the tempest is raging! Refrain First Line: The winds and waves shall obey my will Lyrics: 1. 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'ning A grave in the angry deep? Chorus: "The winds and the waves shall obey my will, Peace! be still! Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea, Or demons, or men, or whatever it be, No water can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies; They all shall sweetly obey My will, Peace! be still! Peace! be still! They all shall sweetly obey My will; Peace! peace! be still! 2. Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled; Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o'er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish! dear Master; Oh hasten, and take control. [Chorus] 3. Master, the terror is over, The elements 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 more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore.
