Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #289 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Still, for Thy loving kindness, Lord Lyrics: 1 Still, for Thy loving kindness, Lord,
I in Thy temple wait;
I look to find Thee in Thy word,
Or at Thy table meet.
2 Here in Thine own appointed ways
I wait to learn Thy will;
Silent I stand before Thy face,
And hear Thee say, "Be still!"
3 "Be still and know that I am God!"
'Tis all I live to know;
To feel the virtue of Thy blood,
And spread its praise below.
4 I wait my vigor to renew,
Thine image to retrieve;
The veil of outward things pass through,
And gasp in Thee to live.
5 I work, and own the labor vain,
And thus from works I cease.
I strive, and see my fruitless pain
Till God create my peace.
Amen.
