be still my soul

hymn performed by fiddlesticks

by Catharina von Schlegel, 1697-?
Translated by Jane Borthwick, 1813-1897

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.

4. 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

I served my mission in Japan so I really like the part with the Japanese Pictures. I know that God is with those people who are suffuring in Japan because of the earthquake and Tsunami. Thanks for this Video.

Catharina von Schlegel is one saint that I absolutely must meet with in heaven. What kind of a woman must she have been to compose such beautiful, consoling and spiritual poetry? If this is only a small sample of her spirituality on earth, what must she be like now, shining like a star in heaven?
