The comfort of spirituality is to rest assured that God is with you. In the midst of the storms of life, you can whisper to your soul, “Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side.”
May this hymn written by Katharina Von Schlegel in 1697 minister strength and comfort to your soul.
1 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 way 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
All 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; when
dearest friend depart
And all is darkened in the
vale of tears
Then shalt thou better know
his love, his heart
Who comes to soothe thy
sorrow and thy fears
Be still, my soul, thy Jesus
can repay
From his own fullness, all he
takes away. - 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, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10)
