"'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 threatening
A grave in the angry deep?

_Chorus:_
"'The winds and the waves shall obey thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea.
Or demons, or man, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies;
They all so sweetly obey thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all so sweetly obey thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!

"'Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief to-day;
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!

_Chorus:_
"'The winds and the waves shall obey thy will, etc.

"'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.

_Chorus:_
"'The winds and the waves shall obey thy will,'" etc.

Lucilia. He was on the deck, and she sat in the saloon, reading and
waiting for a little chat with her father before seeking her berth for
the night. Presently she heard his approaching footsteps, and, closing
her book, looked up at him with a glad smile.

"Ah, daughter, so you are here waiting for me as usual," he said in
his kind, fatherly tones; and, taking a large easy-chair close at
hand, he drew her to a seat upon his knee. "You haven't sat here for
quite a while," he said, passing his arm about her and pressing his
lips to her cheek.

"No, sir; and I am very glad to be allowed to do it again, big and old
as I am," she returned, with a smile that was full of love and
pleasure. "Oh, I am so glad--so glad every day that God gave me to
you instead of to somebody else. I thank him for
