My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
First let Him speak to thee, then speak to Him;
True prayer in thee the Lord initiates,
Thou but a channel art expressing Him.
First let Him speak to thee, then speak to Him;
True prayer in thee the Lord initiates,
Thou but a channel art expressing Him.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.
Learn to let God anoint thee with Himself
And thru thy prayer His purposes fulfill.
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.
Learn to let God anoint thee with Himself
And thru thy prayer His purposes fulfill.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,
Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls,
That God may work in thee all His demands.
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,
Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls,
That God may work in thee all His demands.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Yield to the spirit all thy heart and mind;
Here let the spirit show what God reveals,
Thee its obedient servant thus to find.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;
All of thy being with the Spirit move,
Thy prayer will thus God's own expression be.
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;
All of thy being with the Spirit move,
Thy prayer will thus God's own expression be.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till in the spirit thou with God art one,
Till thru the spirit God possesses all
And thus transforms each part unto His Son.
Till in the spirit thou with God art one,
Till thru the spirit God possesses all
And thus transforms each part unto His Son.

My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till God may freely, fully flow thru thee,
Till all thy words and actions hour by hour
Are the fulfillment of God's will thru thee.
Till God may freely, fully flow thru thee,
Till all thy words and actions hour by hour
Are the fulfillment of God's will thru thee.

Beautiful and create a pause in your devotional life, to truly connect with God on His level in more ways than one.

What a beautiful hymn and tune.
The words of this hymn are so helpful in entering the right frame of mind and spirit for prayer. I had never heard it before, but have started to sing it before my personal time of prayer each day this week.
