Be still, my soul, before the Lord
For God is always near
Before your mind is moved to pray
God listens and will hear
You need not multiply your words
Nor pray with practiced art
Beyond all speech, God understands
The hunger of your heart
Wait, then, in quiet confidence
Your anxious thoughts arrest
God knows your needs before you ask
And works for what is best
On God in patience wait
God's love, unseen, surrounds your life
God's help will not be late.
