St. MARK IV., 39.
"And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
"PEACE!" cried the Saviour, "Peace, be still!"
The troubled lake His voice obeyed.
And then by His far mightier will
The angry billows' course was staid.
The winds rebuked, their rage withheld;
A calm sunk o'er the tossing sea;
And thus obedient to that great command
Peace reigned o'er troubled Galilee.
The troubled lake His voice obeyed.
And then by His far mightier will
The angry billows' course was staid.
The winds rebuked, their rage withheld;
A calm sunk o'er the tossing sea;
And thus obedient to that great command
Peace reigned o'er troubled Galilee.
Oh! peace to thee, thou anxious soul!
Be not afraid, thy Lord is nigh:—
He seems to sleep when angry roll
The waves of sorrow sweeping by.
Be not afraid, thy Lord is nigh:—
He seems to sleep when angry roll
The waves of sorrow sweeping by.
