Verses:  1   2   3   4   5 

 

 1  O troubled soul, beneath the rod

    Thy Father speaks — be still, be still;

    Learn to be silent unto God,

    And let Him mold thee to His will.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 

 2  O anxious soul, lay down thy load,

    Oh, hear His voice, He speaks to thee,

    "Be still and know that I am God,

    And cast thy every care on Me."

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 

 3  O fearful soul, be still, be still,

    Be of good cheer; has He not said,

    "I will be with you, fear no ill,

    'Tis I, 'tis I, be not afraid"?

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 

 4  O praying soul, be still, be still,

    He cannot break His plighted word;

    Sink down into His blessed will,

    And wait in patience on the Lord.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 

 5  O waiting soul, be still, be strong,

    And though He tarry, trust and wait;

    Doubt not, He will not wait too long,

    Fear not, He will not come too late.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.
