Be Still!

Author: Rev. C. A. Fox Hymnal: Hymns of Consecration and Faith #496 (1902) First Line: "Stand still and see!" yea, see, today Lyrics: 1 “Stand still and see!” yea, see, today, New wonders of redeeming grace— The mighty Potter moulds the clay Again within this hallowed place, Till through the human, the Devine Is seen once more to more and shine. 2 Here “commune with thine heart, be still!” Search all the secret stores of years, Till silence, now unbearable,— Self, self-betrayed with blinding tears— Then fall at Jesu’s feet, and say, Thou can’st, Thou shalt, cleanse all today! 3 “Bes still, and know that I am God!” Peace, wounded conscience, heaving breast! Christ’s pierced hand bears alone the rod, His cloud transfigures and brings rest. Take, Lord, Thy power, reign, great I AM, O’ershadowing Guest, all-conquering Lamb! 4 Then in the hush of this fair Tent, And solemn stillness of this hour, Three thousand souls before Thee bent, Break forth, O Holy Ghost, in power— Sweep thro’, thou Wind of God, sweep thro’; Once more cleanse, consecrate, renew! Languages: English Tune Title: CAREY
