About this Hymn
Throughout the ages when people gather, a call to stillness has been an integral part of worship. Many things in life make us restless—worry, fear, sin, earthly ambition, forgetfulness of truth, and despair. Used as a solo or with the congregation, this song echoes the psalmist's cry that our souls might respond and remember that he is God.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Still, my soul, be still,
and do not fear,
though winds of change may rage tomorrow.
God is at your side;
no longer dread
the fires of unexpected sorrow.
Chorus
God, you are my God,
and I will trust in you and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew
a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone.
Verse 2
Still, my soul, be still;
do not be moved
by lesser lights and fleeting shadows.
Hold onto his ways
with shield of faith
against temptation's flaming arrows.
Verse 3
Still, my soul, be still;
do not forsake
the truth you learned in the beginning.
Wait upon the Lord,
and hope will rise
as stars appear when day is dimming.
End
I rest in you alone,
I rest in you alone.
Still, my soul, be still,
and do not fear,
though winds of change may rage tomorrow.
God is at your side;
no longer dread
the fires of unexpected sorrow.
Chorus
God, you are my God,
and I will trust in you and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew
a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone.
Verse 2
Still, my soul, be still;
do not be moved
by lesser lights and fleeting shadows.
Hold onto his ways
with shield of faith
against temptation's flaming arrows.
Verse 3
Still, my soul, be still;
do not forsake
the truth you learned in the beginning.
Wait upon the Lord,
and hope will rise
as stars appear when day is dimming.
End
I rest in you alone,
I rest in you alone.
