Be Still, My Soul
Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Assurance; Comfort; Courage; Faith; Hope; Patience; Life in Christ Faith and Assurance First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side 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 blessed we shall meet at last.
Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Wake, Awake, For Night Is Flying
Author: Philip Nicolai Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying:
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
Awake, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight's solemn hour is tolling,
His chariot wheels are nearer rolling;
He comes, prepare, ye virgins wise.
Rise up; with willing feet
Go forth, the Bridegroom meet;
Hallelujah!
Bear thro' the night your well trimmed light.
Speed forth to join the marriage rite.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
Her heart with deep delight is springing,
At once she wakes, she hastes away:
Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious,
In grace arrayed, by truth victorious;
Her grief is joy, her night is day:
All hail, incarnate Lord,
Our crown, and our reward!
Hallelujah!
We hast alone, in pomp of song,
And gladsome join the marriage throng.
3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending
From tongues of men and angels, blending
With harp and lute and psaltery.
By Thy pearly gates in wonder
We stand, and swell the voice of thunder,
In bursts of choral melody:
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught,
Such bliss and joy:
We raise the song, we swell the throng,
To praise Thee ages all along.

Who Knows How Soon My Days Are Ended
Author: Amilia Juliana, Countess of Schwartzburg Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Who knows how soon my days are ended?
My years are few, and time speeds on.
How swiftly, in this world of changes,
May death approach and life be gone!
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
That I in peace may pass away.
2 So teach me, Lord, my days to number
That when the hour of death appears,
The wounds of Christ may be my refuge,
Nor may I spare repentant tears
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
That I in peace may pass away.
3 Help me to put my house in order
That I may ever ready be
To leave this world, and say in meekness:
Lord, deal Thou as Thou wilt with me.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
That I in peace may pass away.
4 O Father, let my sins be covered
With Jesus' blood and righteousness;
By faith this spotless garment wearing,
I rest shall find from all distress.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
That I in peace may pass away.
5 From Jesus naught my soul can sever,
Nor life nor death shall do me harm;
Him as my Lord and God confessing,
I easily my foes disarm.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
That I in peace may pass away.
6 With Him I live in sweet contentment,
And death instills no thought of fear;
For, while to Thee my ways commending,
I have this faith to lend me cheer:
Thy grace in Christ shall be my stay,
And I in peace shall pass away.

Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to his cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend;
