Lyrics

Our souls in silence wait for God alone. 

Here our weakness is steadied by God's strength, 

here our hearts find their calm,

here our fears are cast out by God's perfect love.

Inhabit this silence, O God,

the mystery of your presence filling our spirits, 

renewing our hearts and our minds, 

enfolding us in love and peace.
