| A time to keep silence. (Eccl. 3:7) |
| The prudent shall keep silence. (Amos 5:13) |
| The Lord is in His holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before Him. (Hab. 2:20) |
| The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Ex. 14:14) |
Be silent unto God, my soul,
If this the score He writes for thee,
And “hold the rest”; play no false note
To mar His perfect harmony. |
Yet be you watchful for your turn;
Strike on the instant, true and clear,
Lest from the grand, melodious whole
Your note be missing to His ear. |
