You did great, esp. because you put the name of the song you are looking for in the title of thread. That makes it a LOT easier for everyone to help you.

A quick check in the search box at the right top of this page didn't turn up anything, but if you will go out to the main Mudcat page and click on "Links", listed among other things in about the midcenter of the page, you might find it in one of those.

And, don't be surprised if a Mudcateer ambles on in here and post the lyrics for you off the top o'their head. They do that a lot.

Good luck,

1)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."

2)Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today.
The depths of my sad heart 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.

3) Master the terror is over, the elements sweetly rest.
Earth's sun 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.

There's one that goes,

"Peace be still and know that I am God Peace be still and know that I am Peace be, Peace be, Peace, Peace, Peace."

It's a round. One time I was in quaker meeting and my stomach kept growling- it was just so embarassing. So I started to silently sing that to my stomach and it quieted down. Well.

So I really like this thread thing, but the thing is it's really hard to find what I'm looking for, which is: I have to write a paper about music as an agent of social change (U.S., this century). Seems like stuff is floating around but I can't get at it. Any help? Love Anais.
