My Soul in Silence Waits for God

My soul in si­lence waits for God

My Sav­ior He has proved;

He on­ly is my rock and tow­er;

I nev­er shall be moved.

My en­emies my ru­in seek

They plot with fraud and guile;

Deceitful

they pre­tend to bless

But in­ward­ly re­vile.

My soul in si­lence waits for God

He is my help ap­proved;

He on­ly is my rock and tow­er

And I shall not be moved.

My hon­or is se­cure with God

My Sav­ior He is known;

My re­fuge and my rock of strength

Are found in God alone.

On Him

ye peo­ple

ev­er­more

Rely with con­fi­dence;

Before Him pour ye out your heart

For God is our de­fense.

For sure­ly men are help­ers vain

The high and the ab­ased;

Yea

light­er than a breath are they

When in the bal­ance placed.

Trust not in harsh op­press­ion’s pow­er

Nor in un­right­eous gain;

If wealth in­crease

yet on your gold

Ye set your hearts in vain.

For God has spok­en o’er and o’er

And un­to me has shown

That sav­ing pow­er and last­ing strength

Belong to Him alone.

Yea

lov­ing-kind­ness ev­er­more

Belongs to Thee

O Lord;

And Thou ac­cord­ing to his work

Dost ev­ery man re­ward.
