Christ My Song - 871

Stillness midst the ever-changing - The quiet land
(Frances Bevan/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The quiet land.

Deuteronomy 26,9.

1. Stillness midst the ever-changing,
  Lord, my rest art thou;
so for me has dawned the morning,
  God's eternal NOW. (PDF - Midi)

2. Now for me the day unsetting,
  now the song begun;
now, the deep surpassing glory,
  brighter than the sun.

3. Hail! all hail! thou peaceful country
  of eternal calm;
summer land of milk and honey,
  where the streams are balm.

4. There the Lord my Shepherd leads me,
  wheresoe'er he will;
in the fresh green pastures feeds me,
  by the waters still.

5. Well I know them, those still waters!
  Peace and rest at last;
in their depths the quiet heavens
  tell the storms are past,

6. Nought to mar the picture fair,
  of the glory resting there.

G. T. S.
