 1 

O troubled soul, beneath the rod

Thy Father speaks — be still, be still;

Learn to be silent unto God,

And let Him mold thee to His will.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 
 2 

O anxious soul, lay down thy load,

Oh, hear His voice, He speaks to thee,

"Be still and know that I am God,

And cast thy every care on Me."

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 
 3 

O fearful soul, be still, be still,

Be of good cheer; has He not said,

"I will be with you, fear no ill,

'Tis I, 'tis I, be not afraid"?

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 
 4 

O praying soul, be still, be still,

He cannot break His plighted word;

Sink down into His blessed will,

And wait in patience on the Lord.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.

 
 5 

O waiting soul, be still, be strong,

And though He tarry, trust and wait;

Doubt not, He will not wait too long,

Fear not, He will not come too late.

 

Be still, O troubled soul, be still;

Fear not, thy Father's arms enfold thee.

Take up thy cross, lay down thy will;

Be silent unto God, and let Him mold thee.
