1 Maître entends-Tu la tempête
Et ses terribles accents?
Parle, Seigneur et l’arrête;
Sauve, sauve Tes enfants!
Mais aucun bruit ne L’éveille,
Il dort et nous périssons.
À nos cris prête l’oreille,
Sauve-nous, nous T’en prions.

Choeur:
Il parle aux flots en démence:
Paix vous soit!
La mer, les vents font silence,
Paix vous soit, paix vous soit!
Il est notre délivrance,
Paix, vous soit!

2 Maître mon coeur qui chancelle
Traverse les grandes eaux;
Et l’orage à ma nacelle
Livre de rudes assauts.
Oh! Qui verra ma détresse,
D’où me viendra le secours?
À Toi, Seigneur je m’adresse,
C’est à Toi que j’ai recours. [Choeur]

3 Maître l’onde est apaisée,
Le doute a quitté mon coeur,
Et mon âme consolée,
A retrouvé son Sauveur.
Oh! Prends en Ta main ma vie,
Jusques au jour de ma mort;
En Toi seul je me confie,
Tu me conduira au port. [Choer]
