Christ’s comforting presence!

Published January 1, 2019 | By Trish

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on [by] 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 [Voice] who ruled them while he dwelt below.

(Katharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel, 1697-1768)
