BE STILL.

O HEART of mine, be calm and still, And ever trustful be; Learn thou that God's almighty will Is right and best for thee, Tho from the shore There stretch before The raging billows of the sea.
And dost thou deem that He whose hand Did first the sea outpour, Who bade it sweep the shining strand, With thunder in its roar, Hath not the power To make it cower And tremble to the very core?
He brought thee, in His wisdom, here Upon its verge to stand, With rumbling chariots in the rear, And hills on every hand, Thy faith to test; Then be at rest, For this is God's benign command.
Behold! the winds are beating back The sullen, angry sea; The billows fly and leave a track That leads to liberty; So, heart, be still, A higher will Shall ever choose the best for thee. —Selected.
