Strength in Stillness

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10). "A man of understanding holdeth his peace" (Proverbs 11:12).

Be still and know God will abide,
Our very present Help sublime,
Our Refuge where we safely hide,
Our Strength in trouble every time.

Be still in view of who God is:
The Lord exalted in the earth,
Who gave Himself to make us His
And give to us a second birth.

Be still that you may hear His voice
And know His will for you today,
And therein let your heart rejoice
That you may hear Him and obey.

Be still that you may find His strength
In quietness and confidence,
To know the height, the breadth, and length
Of love in Christ, our strong Defense.

Thank You, Lord, for this great calm
That You have brought by Your command.
We rest with stillness in this Psalm
And in the shadow of Your hand.
