1 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
First let Him speak to thee, then speak to Him;
2 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.
3 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,
4 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Yield to the spirit all thy heart and mind;
5 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;
6 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till in the spirit thou with God art one,
7 My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till God may freely, fully flow thru thee,
