Be Still My Soul - Katharina von Schlegel

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future, as in ages past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
the Christ 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 for 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.

I love this song. I do believe that nothing can seperate us from the love of God. He is faithful and never leaves us or forsakes us.I praise His Holy Name for He is Worthy!

MY GRANDSON IS MISSING IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FL AND WAS LAST SEEN A WEEK AGO, FILED A REPORT WITH THE POLICE. HE IS 20 YRS OLD WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. LAST SEEN AT COVENANT HOUSE. THIS SONG KEPT ME FROM TOTAL DESPAIR SINCE YESTERDAY WHEN I READ AND SANG THE WORDS. MY SCRIPTURE VERSE WAS PSALM 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
