I hear a voice un¤speak¤a¤ble,
’Tis sound¤ing on my in¤ward ear,
I lay my hon¤our in the dust,
The Lord of Hosts is draw¤ing near.

Chorus:
Be still and know that I am God,
O high¤ly fa¤voured soul be still,
Fall down and wor¤ship– thou shalt know
The coun¤sel of My Ho¤ly Will.

I hear a voice those can¤not hear,
Whose rest¤less souls are nev¤er still,
Es¤tab¤lished they can nev¤er be,
In ho¤li¤ness un¤blam¤a¤ble.

I hear a voice that melts my soul,
In self a¤base¤ment at His feet,
His love, His low¤li¤ness and grace,
Have o¤ver¤powered my will com¤plete.

I hear a voice, a gra¤cious voice,
God shall re¤gard my low es¤tate,
His own right hand hath hold¤en me,
His gen¤tle¤ness hath made me great.

God in the midst, who then can move,
The dwell¤ing place of the Most High?
Thy ad¤ver¤sar¤ies, O my soul,
Are trod¤den down when God is nigh.
