Storm tossed soul on life’s rough, heav­ing ocean,
Doubts and fears thy bo­som fill;
List! above the wild and great com­mo­tion,
Jesus speaks the Peace, be still!

Refrain

Peace be still, be still,
Sweet the whis­per to thy wea­ry soul,
Peace be still, be still,
For Je­sus now will make thee whole.

Sin has long in strong­est chains en­thralled thee,
Captive led at Sa­tan’s will;
Mercy sweet­ly plead­ing long has called thee,
But ye hear not, Peace, be still!

Refrain

Sin sick soul, just now the Great Phy­si­cian
Offers balm for ev­ery ill;
Bow thy heart in hum­ble, deep con­tri­tion,
Lend thine ear to Peace, be still!

Refrain

Soon the storms of life will end in glo­ry,
Let this theme thy bo­som fill;
When death’s sha­dow waves are clos­ing o’er thee,
May you hear His Peace, be still!
