275    L.M.     Samuel Medley
“Be still, and know that I am God.” Ps. 46. 10

1 Let me, thou sovereign Lord of all,
  Low at thy footstool humbly fall;
  And while I feel affliction’s rod,
  Be still and know that thou art God.

2 Let me not murmur nor repine,
  Under these trying strokes of thine;
  But while I walk the mournful road
  Be still and know that thou art God.

3 When and wherever thou shalt smite;
  Teach me to own thy sovereign right;
  And underneath the heaviest load,
  Be still and know that thou art God.

4 Still let this truth support my mind,
  Thou canst not err nor be unkind;
  And thus approve thy chastening rod,
  And know thou art my Father, God!

5 When this afflicted soul shall rise
  To ceaseless joys above the skies,
  I shall, as ransomed by thy blood,
  For ever sing, “Thou art my God!”
