Be Still, My Soul
Author: Katharina A. von Schlegel; Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 188 hymnals First Line: Be still, my soul! The Lord is on your side Lyrics: 1 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 he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul! Your best, your heavenly Friend
thro' 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 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.

Be Still, My Soul
Not to Our Names, Thou Only Just
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Not to our names, Thou only just and true Lyrics: 1 Not to our names, Thou only just and true,
not to our worthless names is glory due;
Thy pow'r and grace, Thy truth and justice, claim
immortal honors to Thy sov'reign name.
Shine thro' the earth from heav’n, Thy blest abode
nor let the heathens say, "And where’s your God?"
2 Heav’n is Thine higher court, there stands Thy throne,
and thro' the lower worlds Thy will is done;
our God framed all this earth, these heav’ns He spread,
but fools adore the gods their hands have made;
the kneeling crowd, with looks devout, behold
their silver-saviors, and their saints of gold.
3 Vain are those artful shapes of eyes and ears,
the molten image neither sees nor hears;
their hands are helpless, nor their feet can move,
they have no speech, nor thought, nor pow'r, nor love;
yet foolish mortals make their long complaints
to their deaf idols, and unmoving saints.
4 The rich have statues well adorned with gold;
the poor, content with gods of coarser mould,
with tools of iron carve the senseless stock,
lopped from a tree, or broken from a rock;
people and priest drive on the solemn trade,
and trust the gods that saws and hammers made.
5 Be heav’n and earth amazed! ’Tis hard to say
which are more stupid, their false gods or they:
O Israel, trust the LORD, He hears and sees,
He knows thy sorrows and restores thy peace:
His worship does a thousand comforts yield,
He is thy help, and He thy heav’nly shield.
6 In GOD we trust: our impious foes in vain
attempt thy ruin, and oppose His reign;
had they prevailed, darkness had closed our days,
and death and silence had forbid His praise;
but we are saved and live: let songs arise,
and Zion bless the GOD that built the skies. Topics: Adoration Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
