This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    First let Him speak to thee, then speak to Him;

    True prayer in thee the Lord initiates,

    Thou but a channel art expressing Him.

 

 2  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.

    Learn to let God anoint thee with Himself

    And thru thy prayer His purposes fulfill.

 

 3  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,

    Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls,

    That God may work in thee all His demands.

 

 4  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Yield to the spirit all thy heart and mind;

    Here let the spirit show what God reveals,

    Thee its obedient servant thus to find.

 

 5  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;

    All of thy being with the Spirit move,

    Thy prayer will thus God's own expression be.

 

 6  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Till in the spirit thou with God art one,

    Till thru the spirit God possesses all

    And thus transforms each part unto His Son.

 

 7  My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

    Till God may freely, fully flow thru thee,

    Till all thy words and actions hour by hour

    Are the fulfillment of God's will thru thee.
