I'd never known a peace so sweet
Till I found this at my Father's feet
I'd never known such peace divine
Till Jesus said: 'I give you mine'
'Be still my child and understand
I hold your life in my two hands
Now see my hands, now see my pain
And find your way to peace again'
'Be still my child, enjoy my peace
And find the place of pure release
This place is here, it is your rest
To you, my child, I give the best'
'And like a child, sleep in my arms
Where none can hurt and none can harm
For there I give such sweet repose
To you My child, the one I chose'
