rise up and follow Thee.

the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!

With that deep hush subduing all
our words and works that drown

Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of Thy peace,
the beauty of Thy peace.

Thy coolness and Thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm,
O still small voice of calm!
