Lyrics: 1 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 threat'ning 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] Scripture: Mark 4:39 Tune Title: PEACE, BE STILL!

We lay us calmly down to sleep

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1393 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Lyrics: 1 We lay us calmly down to sleep When friendly night is come, and leave To God the rest; Whether we wake to smile or weep, Or wake no more on time's fair shore, He knoweth best, He knoweth best.

It was not sleep that bound my sight

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1394 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Lyrics: 1 It was not sleep that bound my sight Upon that well remembered night; It was not fancy's fitful power Beguiled me in that solemn hour But o'er the vision of my soul The mystic future seemed to roll; And in the deep, prophetic trance, Revealed its treasures to my glance. 2 Before my wond'ring eyes there stood A vast, a countless multitude; The hoary sire, the prattling child, The mother, and the maiden mild, The gladsome youth, and man of care All tribes, all ages, mingled there; And all, where'er I turned to see, In humble silence bent the knee. 3 As o'er the crowded scene I gazed, Against the lurid, eastern sky, I saw the shameful cross upraised, I saw the sufferer doomed to die. 'Twas He whom late with sorrowing mien, In Zion's streets I oft had seen; And now in blood and agony, He turned a dying look on me. 4 Then softly from that gath'ring throng Arose the sound of solemn song; And while I caught the swelling lay, The myriad voices seemed to say "And we believe in Him that died, By Pontius Pilate crucified That he shall come, when time is fled, To judge the living and the dead." 5 I woke; thou wast not by my side, I heard a loud exulting cry: I heard the scornful priest deride, The elders murmur, "Crucify!" O Pilate! hadst thou marked my prayer, That guiltless blood to shield and spare, That deed of horror would not be A stain to thine a curse to thee! 6 Our early days of joy are past; Our youthful spring is withered all; Afar from Rome our lot is cast, Beneath the sunny skies of Gaul; The thoughts that memory treasures yet Of other days, begin to flee; But never shall my heart forget The Crucified of Galilee! Scripture: Mark 15:15 Tune Title: DREAM OF PILATE'S WIFE

Let us gather up the sunbeams

Author: Mrs. Albert Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1395 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Lyrics: 1 Let us gather up the sunbeams, Lying all around our path; Let us keep the wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff; Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of today, With a patient hand removing All the briers from the way. Chorus: Then scatter seeds of kindness, Then scatter seeds of kindness, Then scatter seeds of kindness, For our reaping by and by. 2 Strange we never prize the music Till the sweet-voiced bird is flown! Strange that we should slight the violets Till the lovely flowers are gone! Strange that summer skies and sunshine Never seem one half so far As when winter's snowy pinions Shake the white down in the air. [Chorus] 3 If we knew the baby fingers, Pressed against the window pane, Would be cold and stiff tomorrow Never trouble us again Would the bright eyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow? Would the prints of rosy fingers Vex us then as they do now? [Chorus] 4 Ah! those little ice-cold fingers, How they point our mem'ries back To the hasty words and actions Strewn along our backward track! How those little hands remind us, As in snowy grace they lie Not to scatter thorns but roses, For our reaping by and by! [Chorus] Scripture: Romans 12:10 Tune Title: SCATTER SEEDS OF KINDNESS

Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, That can never fail. [Chorus] 5 Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song; Glory, praise, and honor Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and angels sing. [Chorus] Scripture: Psalm 18:39 Tune Title: ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1398 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections First Line: O'er the hill the sun is setting Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone. Gone for aye, its race is over, Soon the darker shades will come; Still 'tis sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, Nearer to our home on high, To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky. 2 One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o'er, While the light is softly dying, On his distant native shore. Thus the Christian on Life's ocean, As his light boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, "I am one day nearer home!" [Chorus] 3 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun; For the goal is one day nearer, And his journey nearer done. Thus we feel, when o'er Life's desert, Heart and sandals worn we roam; As the twilight gathers o'er us, We are one day nearer home. [Chorus] 4 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer To our Father's house on high, To the green fields and the fountains, Of the land beyond the sky; For the heavens grow brighter o'er us, And the lamps hang in the dome, And our tents are pitched still closer, For we're one day nearer home. [Chorus] Scripture: Romans 13:11 Tune Title: NEARER HOME

Tho' they are with the silent dead Yet are they living still. 3 My father read this holy book To brothers, sisters, dear; How calm was my poor mother's look, Who loved God's word to hear. Her angel face I see it yet! What thronging memories come! Again that little group is met, Within the walls of home. 4 Thou truest friend man ever knew, Thy constancy I've tried; When all were false I've found thee true My counsellor and guide.

Soon, alas! was his fall; but he died at his post. 2 The stranger's eye wept, that in life's brightest bloom, One gifted so highly should sink to the tomb: For in ardor he led in the van of the host, And he fell like a soldier, he died at his post. 3 He wept not, himself, that his warfare was done: The battle was fought, and the victory won; But he whispered of those whom his heart loved the most, "Tell my brethren for me, that I died at my post." 4 He asked not a stone to be sculptured with verse; He asked not that fame should his merits rehearse; But he asked as a boon, this he coveted most That his brethren might know that he died at his post. 5 How can we the words of our brother forget? Oh, no! they are fresh in our memory yet: And example so sacred shall never be lost, We will fall in the work we will die at our post. Tune Title: FAITHFUL SENTINEL

Never such treasure was hidden in thee. 2 Mournfully, tenderly, solemn and slow, Tears are bedewing the path as we go; Kindred and strangers are mourners to-day, Gently, so gently, O! bear her away. 3 Mournfully, tenderly, gaze on that brow, Beautiful is it in quietude now: One look! and then settle the loved to her rest, The ocean beneath her, the turf on her breast. 4 So have ye buried her up! and depart, To life and to duty with undismayed heart: Fear not for the love of the stranger will keep, The casket that lies in the Rock of the deep. 5 Peace to thy bosom, thou servant of God! The vale thou art treading, before, thou hast trod: Precious dust thou hast laid by the Hopia tree, And treasure as precious in the Rock of the sea! Tune Title: THE BURIAL OF MRS. JUDSON
