Bid my quiet spirit hear thy comfortable voice, never in the whirlwind found, or where earthquakes rock the place; still and silent is the sound, the whisper of thy grace. 2 From the world of sin and noise and hurry I withdraw. For the small and inward voice I wait, with humble awe. Silent am I now and still, dare not in thy presence move. To my waiting soul reveal the secret of thy love. 3 Thou hast undertook for me, for me to death wast sold; wisdom in a mystery of bleeding love unfold. Teach the lesson of the cross; let me die with thee to reign. All things let me count but loss so I may thee regain. 4 Lord, my time is in thy hand— my soul to thee convert. Thou canst make me understand, though I am slow of heart. Thine, in whom I love and move, thine the work, the praise is thine, thou art wisdom, pow’r, and love, and all thou art is mine.

Author: Gregory Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 9:12-14 Lyrics: 1 O CHRIST! our King, Creator, Lord! Saviour of all who trust thy word!
