Hold your peace

Holy your peace with me,

and let me speak.

Then let come to me what may.

Come what may.

Why do I take my flesh

in my teeth?

And put my life in His hands.

For He shall be

My life and my salvation.

And though he slay me.

Though he slay me.

Yet, shall I trust.

Yet, shall I trust.

Yet shall I trust.

In Him.

A lament written in two parts for soprano and bass based on Job and the Psalms
