Fierce Raged the Tempest o'er the Deep
======================================
w: Godfrey Thring, 1861
m: John Bacchus Dykes, 1862
tune: St. Aelred
meter: 8.8.8.3

[Verse 1]
Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep,
Watch did Thine anxious servants keep,
But Thou was wrapt in guileless sleep,
Calm and still.

[Verse 2]
"Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry,
"O save us in our agony!"
Thy word above the storm rose high,
"Peace, be still."

[Verse 3]
The wild winds hushed, the angry deep
Sank like a little child to sleep,
The sullen billows ceased to leap,
At Thy will.

[Verse 4]
So when our life is clouded o'er,
And storm winds drift us from the shore,
Say, lest we sink to rise no more,
"Peace, be still."
