The Storm Is Passing Over

Mark 4:39

King James Version (KJV)

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

I've really been enjoying this song, "The Storm Is Passing Over" by Mason Jar Music & Friends tonight.  Charles A. Tindley wrote the original hymn.  I understand Mason Jar's version iis from a benefit album for relief and recovery from Hurricane Sandy.  Here's a link to that site: http://thestormispassingover.com.   There are all kinds of storms in life.  It's good we have a God who calms the waves.

The Storm Is Passing Over by Charles A. Tindley, 1905

The lyrics:

O courage, my soul, and let us journey on,
For tho’ the night is dark, it won’t be very long.
O thanks be to God, the morning light appears,
And the storm is passing over, Hallelujah!

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The storm is passing over,
Hallelujah!

O billows rolling high, and thunder shakes the ground,
The lightnings flash, and tempest all around,
But Jesus walks the sea and calms the angry waves,
And the storm is passing over, Hallelujah!

Refrain

The stars have disappeared, and distant lights are dim,
My soul is filled with fears, the seas are breaking in.
I hear the Master cry, “Be not afraid, ’tis I,”
And the storm is passing over, Hallelujah!

Refrain

Now soon we shall reach the distant shining shore,
Then free from all the storms, we’ll rest forevermore.
And safe within the veil, we’ll furl the riven sail,
And the storm will all be over, Hallelujah!
