My Soul in Silence Waits for God

Representative Text

1 My soul in silence waits for God,
My Saviour he has proved;
He only is my Rock and Tow'r;
I never shall be moved.

2 My honor is secure with God,
My Saviour he is known;
My Refuge and my Rock of strength
Are found in God alone.

3 On him, ye people, evermore
Rely with confidence;
Before him pour ye out your heart,
For God is our defense.

4 For God has spoken o'er and o'er,
And unto me has shown,
That saving pow'r and lasting strength
Belong to him alone.

5 Yea, loving-kindness evermore
Belongs to thee, O Lord;
And thou according to his work
Dost ev'ry man reward.

Amen.
