[Lead]
Master, the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o'ershadowed 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 threatning
A grave in the angry deep?
[Lead: Adlib]
(Chorus)
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
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 sky
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, peace, be still
(repeat)

| JAMES CLEVELAND - PEACE, BE STILL |
| There is no question that Rev. James Cleveland’s arrangement of “Peace, Peace Be Still” is the arrangement with which we are most familiar, but he is not the author of the song. The text was written by Miss Mary Ann Baker who was born in 1831 and lived in Chicago, IL. As a young woman she was taught to believe in Christ and give Him a consecrated life. Both her father and her mother died, and then her beloved brother succumbed of the same disease that killed their parents.
Miss Baker, feeling that what had happened to her family was more than she could bear, asked, "What have I done to deserve this? What have I left undone that God should wreak His vengeance upon me in this way?" However, as the weeks of time passed, the tempest in what she called her "unsanctified heart" began to be stilled, and she gradually came to realize that God is always a loving Father, whether we are well or sick, rich or poor; whether we succeed or fail, live or die. A deeper and richer trust took possession of her and transformed her from a rebellious woman to a loving and obedient one. In 1874 she was asked to produce several songs to accompany Sunday school lessons. One of the subjects that was assigned to her was "Christ Stilling the Tempest."
Ms. Baker authored three stanzas and a chorus for the song we know as “Peace Be Still. The tune was composed that same year by Horatio Richmond Palmer (1834-1907). The song became popular when, in 1881, it was sung at the funeral of President James A. Garfield.
