Perilous
by Gail Denham
“Carest thou not if we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep?”
… from 1800s Hymn:“Master, The Tempest is Raging”
Text: Mary Ann Baker; Music: H.R. Palmer
Monstrous waves and mighty winds
reach to swamp their fragile boat
“Does He not care? He lies asleep”
Rising slow, with sympathy
He whispers: “Peace be still”
He speaks and the sea obeys
