\"Stand Still and See\"
Verse 1
"Stand still and see!" yea, see, today,
New wonders of redeeming grace —
The mighty Potter molds the clay
Again within this hallowed place,
Till through the human, the Divine
Is seen once more to move and shine.
New wonders of redeeming grace —

Verse 2
Here "commune with thine heart, be still!"
Search all the secret stores of years,
Till silence, now unbearable —
Self, self-betrayed with blinding tears;
Then fall at Jesus' feet, and say,
Thou can'st, Thou shalt, cleanse all today!
Search all the secret stores of years,

Verse 3
"Be still, and know that I am God!"
Peace, wounded conscience, heaving breast!
Christ's pierced hand bears alone the rod,
His cloud transfigures and brings rest.
Take, Lord, Thy power, reign, great I AM,
O'er shadowing Guest, all-conquering Lamb!

Take, Lord, Thy power, reign, great I AM,
O'er shadowing Guest, all-conquering Lamb!
Verse 4
Then in the hush of this fair tent,
And solemn stillness of this hour,
Three thousand souls before Thee bent.
Break forth, O Holy Ghost, in power;
Sweep through, Thou Wind of God, sweep through;
Once more cleanse, consecrate, renew!
And solemn stillness of this hour,
Three thousand souls before Thee bent.
Break forth, O Holy Ghost, in power;
Sweep through, Thou Wind of God, sweep through;
Once more cleanse, consecrate, renew!
A hymn of faith encouraging trust in God's deliverance during difficult circumstances.
