• My Lips Are Silent, My Heart Rejoicing

  Rejoice, my heart, be glad and sing,
  A cheerful trust maintain;
  For
  God, the source of everything,
  Your portion shall remain.
  

  He is your treasure, he your joy,
  Your life and light and Lord,
  Your
  counselor when doubts annoy,
  Your shield and great reward.
  

  Why spend the day in blank despair,
  In restless thought the night?
  And
  did he not in threatening hour
  Turn dreaded ills away?
  

  He only will with patience chide,
  His rod falls gently down,
  And all
  your sins he casts aside;
  In ocean depth they drown.
  

  His wisdom never plans in vain
  Nor falters nor mistakes
  All that his
  counsels may ordain
  A happy ending makes.
  

  Upon your lips, then, lay your hand
  And trust his guiding love;
  Then
  like a rock your peace shall stand
  Here and in heaven above.
