"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
By Louisa Penn
THIS grand old psalm of David's lyre
Doth still our trusting hearts inspire
With confidence to trust the hand
That issued the divine command. "Be still and know that I am God."
Though oft we pass beneath the rod,
Though trouble be of weary length,
"God is our refuge and our strength." "Be still and know that I am God."
Though dark and stormy be the road,
"The cloud with silver lining," we
By faith's triumphant vision see. On wings of faith and prayer we rise,
And scale the walls of Paradise,
And gather strength of heavenly birth
To battle with the cares of earth. Should sorrow rise to mountain height,
And put our faith and hope to test,
We'll turn from dark temptation's power,
Be still, and know that God knows best.
