Master, the Tempest Is Raging

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings "Master, the Tempest Is Raging."

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I don't think anyone will read this, but here it goes. This is my all time favorite hymn, and it has been ever since I was introduced to it by my seminary teacher. It brings me to tears each time I listen to it, and whenever I'm in a tough situation where I feel hopeless, my mind goes back to this song. Now today, it applies more than ever. The world seems to be falling apart. So many, including me, have felt hopeless or do feel hopeless, yet, this song reminds me to this day that it's all the Lords will, and that whether we see it or not, it's for the best. When I listen to this, I feel like the savior is right next to me telling me "Peace, be still".

Master the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’er shadowed with blackness;
No shelter or help is nigh;
Carest Thou not that we perish?
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threatening,
A grave in the angry deep.

CHORUS
“The winds and the waves shall obey My will,
Peace be still!
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No water can swallow the ship where lies,
The Master of ocean and earth and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey my will,
Peace, be still! Peace be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will,
Peace, peace be still!”

Master with anguish of spirit,
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of sad hearts are troubled;
O, waken and save I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish,
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish dear Master;
O hasten, and take control.

Master, the terror is over,
The element sweetly rest;
Earth’s sun is in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven’s within my breast;
Linger O blessed Redeemer,
Leave me alone no more;
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.
