SS&S Hymn #95: He hath spoken, Be still

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

He hath spoken, Be still, "the
Rebuker of seas
The command was for me, and my
heart is at ease;
He hath hushed into silence the waves
and the winds,
By applying His blood and removing
my sins.
He’s the Prince of Peacemakers,
all glory to God,
To redeem me, and cleanse me,
He shed His own blood;
My adoption is sealed,
I’m a child of the King,
And for ever and ever of Jesus
I’ll sing.

He hath quickened my soul by a life
from above;
It was done by the Spirit, its essence
is love,
He hath pardoned and washed me as
white as the snow,
And my heart with His love does this
moment overflow.

He’s a wonderful Jesus, this Saviour
of mine;
He’s the great Son of God—
a Redeemer Divine;
He’s my Strength and my Wisdom,
my Life and my Lord,
And enthroned in my heart to be
loved and adored.

I will love Him, and serve Him from
now till I die;
For His love fills my heart, and His
beauty my eye,
He’s the fairest and dearest of all to
my soul,
And our lives shall be one, while
eternities roll.
