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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
