Religion
Rest, and be silent! For, faithfully listening
From Loyal Responses
Rest, and be silent ! For, faithfully listening,
Patiently waiting, thine eyes shall behold
Pearls in the waters of quietness glistening,
Treasures of promise that He shall unfold.
Rest, and be silent ! for Jesus is here,
Calming and stilling each ripple of fear.
'Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring : for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.'— ESTHER
