Seeking the Power

Verse 1

Still, for Thy loving kindness, Lord, I in Thy temple wait; I look to find Thee in Thy word, Or at Thy table meet.

Verse 2

Here in Thine own appointed ways I wait to learn Thy will; Silent I stand before Thy face, And hear Thee say, "Be still!"

Verse 3

"Be still and know that I am God!" 'Tis all I live to know; To feel the virtue of Thy blood, And spread its praise below.

Verse 4

I wait my vigor to renew, Thine image to retrieve; The veil of outward things pass through, And gasp in Thee to live.

Verse 5

I work, and own the labor vain, And thus from works I cease. I strive, and see my fruitless pain Till God create my peace.

Verse 6

Amen.
