Peace, Be Still (James)

When our hearts are sad and wea­ry

When our paths seem lone and drea­ry

Sweet the voice can make us cheery

Peace

be still.

When we meet with tri­bu­la­tion

Chafing un­der sore temp­ta­tion

Bless the Lord for con­so­la­tion

Peace

be still.

In all thy ways

oh

seek His guid­ing

Amid all trou­bles

still con­fid­ing

In His grace and pow­er ab­id­ing

Peace

be still

peace

be still.

Do we grieve at man’s be­hav­ior?

Mourn we all in vain our la­bor

Precious ac­cents of our Sav­ior

Peace

be still.

Can the Lord for­get us ev­er?

Can His love from us e’er sev­er?

Ours may fail

but His

ah

nev­er!

Peace

be still.

Have you heard His voice with­in you?

Does the joy it brings con­tin­ue?

From all ev­il may it win you

Peace

be still.

Soon will drop our hea­vy cross­es

Recompense for all our loss­es

Anchored safe where storm ne’er toss­es

Peace

be still.
