Be still, my soul
Author: Katherina von Schlegel, b. 1697; Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: James 1:17 First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is at your side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is at your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly friend,
through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake,
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the tempests still obey
his voice, who ruled them once on Galilee.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love’s pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Blessed is the man whose softening heart
Author: Mrs. Barbauld Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: James 1:27 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart
Feels all another's pain;
To whom the supplicating eye
Was never raised in vain.
2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth,
A stranger's woes to feel;
And bleeds in pity o'er the wound
He wants the power to heal.
3 He spreads his kind, supporting arms
To every child of grief;
His secret bounty largely flows,
And brings unasked relief.
4 To gentle offices of love
His feet are never slow:
He views, through mercy's melting eye,
A brother in a foe.
5 Peace from the bosom of his God,
The Saviour's grace shall give;
And when he kneels before the throne,
His trembling soul shall live. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Charity

I have my pow'r, my strength from you.

my kind protector ever prove;
Lord, put your seal upon my heart,
that I from you may not depart.

but yours, and only yours, fulfill;
let all my time and all my ways
be spend and ended to your praise. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christ--Guidance; Earthly concerns Used With Tune: HUS

Be Doers of the Word of God
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: James 1:19-27 Lyrics: Be doers of the word of God,
Not simply those who hear.
Be ones who look into God’s word,
Obey, and persevere.
Be quick to listen, slow to speak,
And slow to anger, too.
Put wrath aside; instead, be meek
And let God work in you.
Religion that is undefiled,
Religion that is pure
Will reach to help the orphaned child
And welcome all the poor.
If people come here poorly dressed,
To judge them is a sin.
The rich aren’t better than the rest;
God welcomes poor ones in.
O Christ, you save us by God’s grace
From having to obey.
Then freed to love, we can embrace
A life that seeks your way.
May we be doers of the word,
May faith shine through our deeds;
And as we seek to trust in God,
May ethics follow creeds.
