Master The Tempest Is Raging History
The words of this hymn, Master The Tempest Is Raging, were written by Mary Ann Baker
and they were set to music by Dr. H R Palmer in 1874. The song was published in Dr.
Palmer's Songs of Love For The Bible School.
The inspiration for this song is the story of Jesus and the disciples crossing the Sea of
Galilee when they encountered a big storm and their boat was at risk of capsizing.
As the Bible reports Jesus was fast asleep while his disciples were fighting the storm and
fearing for their lives. They soon realized that the savior was with them in the boat and
woke him up. They complained to him saying, "Master, carest thou not that we perish."
Christ stood in the midst of the storm and rebuked the wind
saying, "Peace, be still" and the storm stopped.
Master The Tempest Is Raging Lyrics
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,

2. 2/4
When each moment so madly is threatening
A grave in the angry deep?
Refrain
The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath of the storm tossed sea,
Or demons or men, or whatever it be
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master
Oh, hasten, and take control.
Refrain
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 blessèd Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more;
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.
Refrain

trust and obey.' Daniel B Towner- Trust and Obey The music director of the Moody Bible

Will Your Anchor Hold?- Story Behind This Classic Hymn
Will Your Anchor Hold History The author of this hymn, "Will Your Anchor Hold", is
Priscilla Owens . She was born in Baltimore, USA in 1829 of Scottish and Welsh blood.
For over 50 years Priscilla Owens was actively involved in work for Christian youths and
most of her songs were therefore composed for children. Besides this hymn she is also
well known as the composer of another beloved Christian hymn, "We have heard a joyful
sound". She also composed several other hymns during her fruitful life on earth. "Will
Your Anchor Hold" was sung outside the door of the dying hymn-writer Mary Fawler
Maude (Thine For Ever! God of love). She sent her singers the message, "Tell them that it
does not fail - it holds." The hymn suggests that personal stability can only come from the
right foundations. It employs a seafaring analogy in making its point. Will Your Anchor
