"BE STILL, AND KNOW."

From the February 1910 issue of The Christian Science Journal


O restless heart, be still, and know
That I am God!
To all earth's jarring noises close thine ears,
Yea, even from the voice of thine own fears;
Hush every sigh, and cease thee from thy tears,
And in the path thy stumbling feet have trod,
Be still, and know.

Be still, and know that I am Life
That knows no death!
No change I know, nor shalt thou fearful stand
Lest from thy clasp shall slip some loved one's hand,
Leaving thee lonely in a desert land;
For Life holds naught akin to mortal breath.
Be still, and know.

Be still, and know that I am Truth
That maketh free!
No thought impure can flourish in My sight,
No wrong can triumph o'er eternal right.
No loving heart can sink 'neath hatred's blight,
When thou, and all, this changeless fact shalt see.
Be still, and know.
