Be Still My Soul




"Let be and be still, and know that I am God.
 I will be exalted among the nations!
I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hosts is with us; 
the God of Jacob is our Refuge,
our High Tower and Stronghold.
Psalm 46:10-11



Wild Spring Lilacs



Be still my soul; the Lord is on thy side;

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

Leave to thy God to order and provide;

In every change He faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: thy best thy heavenly Friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.


Be still my soul: thy God doth undertake

To guide the future as He has the past.

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;

And now mysterious shall be bright at last

Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know 

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.


Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on

When we shall be forever with the Lord,

When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still my soul: when change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.



"Be Still My Soul"
Katharina Amalia Dorothea Von Schlegel
(1697-1768)
German hymn writer
