Be Still, My Soul

Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 10 Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 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 ways leads to a joyful end. 2 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. 3 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 blessèd we shall meet at last. Scripture: Psalm 46:1 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA Text Sources: Stille, mein Wille

Thy mighty love, O God, constraineth me

Author: E. Grimes Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Thy mighty love, O God, constraineth me, As some strong tide it presseth on its way, Seeking a channel in my self-bound soul, Yearning to sweep all barriers away. 2 Shall I not yield to that constraining power? Shall I not say, O tide of Love, flow in? My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me, Life cannot be as it hath hither been. 3 Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly Love, Clear every avenue of thought and brain, Flood my affections, purify my will, Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain. 4 Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God, Forth from my life, spontaneous and free, Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace, Loving, because God loved, eternally.
