Stillness midst the ever-changing, Lord, my rest art Thou; So for me has dawned the morning, God's eternal now. Now for me the day unsetting, Now the song begun; Now, the deep surpassing glory, Brighter than the sun.
Hail! all hail! thou peaceful country Of eternal calm; Summer land of milk and honey, Where the streams are balm. There the Lord my Shepherd leads me, Where so ever He will; In the fresh green pastures feeds me, By the waters still.
Well I know them, those still waters! Peace and rest at last; In their depths the quiet heavens Tell the storms are past, Nought to mar the picture fair, Of the glory resting there.
