O troubled soul, beneath the rod (Hymn 652)

Verse 1: O troubled soul, beneath the rod Thy Father speaks—be still, be still; Learn to be silent unto God, And let Him mold thee to His will. Verse 2: O anxious soul, lay down thy load, Oh, hear His voice, He speaks to thee, "Be still and know that I am God, And cast thy every care on Me." Verse 3: O fearful soul, be still, be still, Be of good cheer; has He not said, "I will be with you, fear no ill, ’Tis I, ’tis I, be not afraid"? Verse 4: O praying soul, be still, be still, He cannot break His plighted word; Sink down into His blessed will, And wait in patience on the Lord. Verse 5: O waiting soul, be still, be strong, And though He tarry, trust and wait; Doubt not, He will not wait too long, Fear not, He will not come too late.
