He said unto the sea: “Be still.”
The waters, at His word,
Grew calm, obedient to His will,
And recognized their Lord.

He saith unto my troubled soul:
“Be still, I am thy rest.”
And fiercely though the billows roll,
I feel His will is best.

Oh, restless heart, oh! troubled sea,
If thou obey His will,
However fierce the tempests be,
Peace comes with His “Be still.”
