by C. A. Fox
Representative text
As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 337 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
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.
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!
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!
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!
