% Be still, and know that am God )"
The way is dark and wild
Through which thoa goest, my child;
j cannot promise thee a stormless path,
For lightning's scath
And thunder's roar the pilgrims journey hath.
q Be still, and know that am Cod"
The elements are mine;
II is q hand divine
That guides the whirlwind in its awful course
The mystic force
OF hail and tempest finds in me its source.
u Be still. and know that am God;"
In dangers hour be calm;
This is thy secret balm,
To know that thou art safe when command;
Then only stand
And see deliverance by my mighty hand.
Be still, and know that am Cod"
Ask not the reason why
weave such mystery
Though all the warp Of thy fral life below;
For thou shalt know
And read the plan In heavens serener glow.
Be still, and know that am God;"
Through storms and fears be still;
Only thy part fulfill,
And as thou walkest will shelter thee;
Thy foes shall flee,
And thou shalt journey all the way with me.
Be still and know that am God;"
Twill be enough at last,
When all thy warfareis past,
6tar-erowDed thy head and in thy hand a palm,
To sing thy psalm
Where storms Of earth end in eternal calm.
