“PEACE, BE STILL!”

By Mrs. Wm. Jones

AMID the weary cares of life, Amid the stormy battle’s din, When anger dread, and fear and strife Essay to gain an entrance in; Whene’er our weary feet sink down Beneath the dreary waters chill, There comes a voice both sweet and low, Forever saying, “Peace, be still.”
All the warfare of the heart, All the turmoil in the brain, All our thoughts that form a part Of our daily strife to gain Victory o’er our direst foe, Fighting with determined will ’Gainst his wiles,—but hark, so low Comes that whisper, “Peace, be still.”
For even the winds shall obey his voice, And the Ice King flee at our Saviour’s will; And the earth shall blossom, the sky rejoice, Through our King’s commandment—“Peace, be still.”
Mrs. Wm. Jones.
