"And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,
"Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."
Mark 4:39
Peace be Still
Yongsung Kim
Korean artist
The King of Glory standeth Beside the heart of sin;
His mighty voice commandeth The raging waves within;
The floods of deepest anguish Roll backwards at His will,
As o'er the storm ariseth His mandate, "Peace be still."
At times, with sudden glory, He speaks and all is done;
Without one stroke of battle The victory is won,
While we, with joy beholding, Can scarce believe it true
That e'en our kingly Jesus, Can form such hearts a-new.
O Christ, Thy love is mighty; Long-suffering is Thy grace;
And glorious is the splendor That beameth from Thy face.
Our hearts upleap in gladness When we behold that love,
As we go singing onward, To dwell with Thee above. Amen.
"The King Of Glory Standeth"
Charitie De Cheney Lees Smith Bancroft
(1841-1923)
Irish-born American hymn writer
