Tompkins Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: The tempest was raging on blue Galilee Refrain First Line: The billows of sea or of sorrow Lyrics: 1 The tempest was raging on blue Galilee, And high rose the waves of the Palestine sea, Yet Jesus was sleeping as sweet as a child, Not heeding the winds or the waters so wild. Chorus: The billows of sea or of sorrow, Sweetly obey His will, And stormy seas of trial, List to His "Peace, be still!" 2 He woke from His slumbers and spake to the storm, And, lo! on the waters there fell a great calm; The waves of the deep seemed to whisper, "'Tis He," As safely the vessel passed over the sea. [Chorus] 3 O safe is the vessel when Jesus is there, And sure is the voyage, if stormy or fair; There's naught that can harm us when He whispers "Peace;" He speaks to the winds and the wild tempests cease.
