| 1. Be still, O heart!
Why fear and tremble?
What evil can thy steps betide?
Though foes, a mighty host, assemble,
Fear not, for God is on thy side.
Refrain.
Be still, O heart!
What evil can betide thee?
Fear not, fear not,
With God to walk beside thee.
2. Be still, O heart!
The Lord of glory
Was once a man acquaint with grief:
He stoops to hear—
tell all thy story;
He loves, He cares,
He’ll send relief.
Refrain.
Be still, O heart!
What evil can betide thee?
Fear not, fear not,
With God to walk beside thee.
3. Be still, O heart!
Cease fearing, fretting
About the future all unknown;
Ne’er think the Master is forgetting
About His child—
His loved and own.
Refrain.
Be still, O heart!
What evil can betide thee?
Fear not, fear not,
With God to walk beside thee.
4. Be still, O heart!
Thy Lord will send thee
The clouds or sunshine as is best;
His own right hand
shall e’er defend thee;
Then trust His love,
and be at rest.
Refrain.
Be still, O heart!
What evil can betide thee?
Fear not, fear not,
With God to walk beside thee.
