"Peace, Be Still."

The morning star of Faith may rise, And antedate a blissful day; But ere Hope gilds our evening skies, Fate sweeps the auspices away! Yet, far above earth's sinful rill, A voice comes greeting—"Peace, be still!"
False friends may mar affection's cheer, And envy work our overthrow; And, base deception! Pity's tear May tend to fill our cup of woe; Yet, 'neath the heart's pulsating thrill, A still voice whispers—"Peace, be still!"
Misfortune's spell and Sorrow's wail May ever in life's path intrude; And mortal's lot must e'er entail The stings of base ingratitude! Despite of all, from Zion's hill Comes the blest prompter—"Peace, be still!"
