BE still, O Soul!
For thee unwearied toils th' Immortal Love,
And from the tangled threads of time
Doth weave the garment of eternity.
Be still and wait.
The loom hath many threads,
But the swift shuttle runneth well;
A day, a night, and lo! between two hours
The fabric falls.
Be still and wait,
For thou shalt wear the garment of eternity,
The shining robe of immortality.
