Be Still My Soul



"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
Thru' thorny ways leads to a joyful end."

Katharina von Schlegel
translated by Jane L. Borthwick

  3. Have loved that hymn for years. Sung so seldom in our day and age. [Doesn't mean I can't have it buried in my heart and sing it LOUDLY when I'm out and about walking and worshiping and praising Him.]
