Be Still and Know

E. A. Barnes • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 46:10

Verse 1

When life is full of toil and care, When on our way the shadows fall, That we may trust, and journey on, God speaketh to us all:

Chorus

Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God; Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God.

Verse 2

When heavy is the given cross, When strength is ready to depart, That we may trust, and murmur not, God whispers to the heart:

Chorus

Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God; Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God.

Verse 3

When rugged is the sea of life, When storms abide and billows roll, That we may trust, and never fear, God whispers to the soul:

Chorus

Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God; Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God.

Verse 4

In all the days that are to come, In all the griefs that may befall, That we may trust his guiding hand, God speaketh to us all:

Chorus

Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God; Be still, be still, Be still and know that I am God.
