Be Still


Rise Up now, man! and come away
Hide yourself for a still small time
Flee for a little while your busy day;
From disturbing thoughts and harried mind

Cast aside now the burdens you bear
and put away your toilsome cares
And with riches and wonders you will be filled
When you know that God is God and be still.

Be still, be still
Be still and know God is God
Be still, be still
Be still and know God is God
In stillness may the truth be heard
Then utter not a single word
In a quiet have your spirit stirred
Be still and know God is God

Take some time and to God yield
So all your thoughts to God incline
and rest for a while from the battlefield
In the inner chamber of your mind;

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me...

Be still, be still
Be still and know God is God
Be still, be still
Be still and know God is God
In stillness may the truth be heard
Then utter not a single word
In a quiet have your spirit stirred
Be still and know God is God
