’Mid the bil­lows of temp­ta­tion,
On the rest­less seas of life,
When the threat­en­ing waves
With dread our spir­its fill,
If we on­ly look to Je­sus,
Over all the din and strife,
We can hear Him calm­ly say­ing,
Peace, be still.

Refrain

Peace, be still, peace, be still,
Peace, be still the Sav­ior whis­pers,
Peace, be still;
He will let no ill be­tide,
At His word the storms sub­side,
Peace, be still, the Sav­ior whispers,
Peace, be still.
Peace, be still, peace, be still,
Peace, be still.

O how sweet the ten­der pi­ty
Of our hu­man-hearted Lord!
At His word our souls with love
And glad­ness thrill!
He can un­der­stand each tri­al,
He will rea­dy help af­ford,
Only hear Him calm­ly say­ing,
Peace, be still.

Refrain

Tempest tossed, yet worn and wea­ry,
Ye who pine in sore dis­tress,
Yield in full sur­render to His ho­ly will;
He will save, and guide and keep you,
He will ev­er cheer and bless,
You shall hear Him sweet­ly say­ing,
Peace, be still.
