Listen from:
"The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness." Isa.32:17.
"Be still, my soul! thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake.
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
"Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul! when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then thou shalt better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul! the Saviour can repay
From His own fullness, all He takes away."
Prince of Peace, control my will; bid this struggling heart be still;
Bid my fears and doubtings cease; hush my spirit into peace.
