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
