4. Be still, O heart! Why fear and tremble?

1 Be still, O heart! Why fear and tremble?
What harm, what evil, can betide?
Tho' foes in mighty hosts assemble,
Fear not, for God is on thy side.

Refrain:
Be still, be still,
O heart, be still.

2 Be still, O heart! The Lord of Glory
Was once a man acquaint with grief;
He bends to hear tell all thy story
He loves, He cares, He'll send relief. [Refrain]

3 Be still, O heart! Cease fearing, fretting
About the future, all unknown;
Nor think the Master is forgetting
His ransomed ones, His loved, His own. [Refrain]

4 Be still, O heart! The King will send thee
The clouds or sunshine as is best;
His own right hand shall e'er defend thee;
Then trust His love, and know His rest. [Refrain]
