1 O troubled soul, beneath the rod
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, 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,
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;
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;
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.
