| Fear was within the tossing bark | B |
| When stormy winds grew loud | C |
| And waves came rolling high and dark | B |
| And the tall mast was bowed | C |

| And men stood breathless in their dread | D |
| And baffled in their skill | E |
| But One was there who rose and said | D |
| To the wild sea 'Be still ' | - |
| - | |
| And the wind ceased it ceased that word | F |
| Pass'd through the gloomy sky | A |
| The troubled billows knew their Lord | G |
| And sank beneath His eye | A |
| - | |
| And silence settled on the deep | H |
| And silence on the blast | I |
| As when the righteous falls asleep | H |
| When death's fierce throes are past | I |
| - | |
| Thou that didst rule the angry hour | J |
| And tame the tempest's mood | K |
| Oh send Thy Spirit forth in power | J |
| O'er our dark souls to brood | K |

| Thou that didst bow the billows' pride | L |
| Thy mandates to fulfil | E |
| So speak to passion's raging tide | L |
| Speak and say 'Peace be still ' | - |
