Oh, darkly the waters roll
And pass to the southern shore,
But oh, what a wonderful change has come
By the calm of the water's roll.

Chorus: Waters roll, waters roll,
As we pass to the other shore.
Waters roll, waters roll,
As we pass to the other shore.

Into the salving flow,
A wearisome soul must go,
But the surges sifting o'er that soul
Must pass to the other shore.

(Chorus)

Jesus, the Master, spoke
Unto the wild water, "Be still."
And the waves in harmless riplets blowed,
Becalmed by the Master's will.

(Chorus)
