Rh And war, and strife, and hatred, shall be past,

And misery a forgotten dream.

The Shepherd God shall lead his peaceful fold

By the calm meadows and quiet stream.

Be still, be still, and know that he is God;

Be calm, be trustful; work, and watch, and pray,

Till from the throes of this last anguish rise

The light and gladness of that better day.
