The waves were weary and they went to sleepA
The winds were hushedB
The starlight flushedB
The furrowed face of all the mighty deepA
-
The billows yester eve so dark and wildC
Wore strangely nowD
A calm upon their browD
Like that which rests upon a cradled childC
-
The sky was bright and every single starE
With gleaming faceF
Was in its placeF
And looked upon the sea so fair and farE
-
And all was still still as a temple dimG
When low and faintH
As murmurs plaintH
Dies the last note of the Vesper hymnG
-
A bark slept on the sea and in the barkI
Slept Mary's SonJ
The only OneJ
Whose face is light where all all else is darkI
-
His brow was heavenward turned His face was fairK
He dreamed of meL
On that still seaL
The stars He made were gleaming through His hairK
-
And lo a moan moved o'er the mighty deepA
The sky grew darkI
The little barkI
Felt all the waves awaking from their sleepA
-
The winds wailed wild and wilder billows beatH
The bark was tossedH
Shall all be lostH
But Mary's Son slept on serene and sweetH
-
The tempest raged in all its mighty wrathM
The winds howled onN
All hope seemed goneO
And darker waves surged round the bark's lone pathM
-
The sleeper woke He gazed upon the deepA
He whispered PeaceP
Winds wild waves ceaseP
Be still The tempest fled the ocean fell asleepA
-
And ah when human hearts by storms are tossedH
When life's lone barkI
Drifts through the darkI
And 'mid the wildest waves where all seems lostH
-
He now as then with words of power and peaceP
Murmurs Stormy deepA
Be still still and sleepA
And lo a great calm comes the tempest's perils ceaseP
